Throughout the semester, I have had the chance to read many stories, both good and bad. I got to observe the many different writing styles of my peers. From this, I have obtained a pretty good idea on what I like and dislike in a story. One of the things that I like in a story is action. Even if the author's writing style is not very good, I feel like having action in the story makes up for that. I admire people who are able to write in a way that doesn't look like they're trying to write a story but rather the story just naturally flows. Some habits that I see a lot include the absence of a good climax in the story. I will go through the whole story without feeling any excitement due to the fact that the story did not have any turning point that really made me want to finish it. Also most of the time, I believe people do not add enough back story to their character. Most of the people who do this tend to have a pretty anticlimactic plot, which is why I suggest they add more of a backstory to their character. I feel as if it would make their story flow a little better while adding some interesting elements to it. I do feel as if I am slacking a bit in my feedback. I mainly focus on their plot when I'm reading their story. However sometimes, it's actually their grammar that is causing the issue. In the future, I would like to be more in-depth with my feedback by also commenting on the formatting of their story i.e. their grammar and the overall layout of their writing. Everyone is a good writer and with the help of our peers and instructors, we can all improve and move closer to becoming a great one.
