One of the biggest surprises of this class has been the use of Google Drive as a way to receive feedback on the papers we wrote. Truly, I had no idea that such an application existed, but I am all the better for learning about it.
For starters, I loved its feature allowing the commentary of a colleague's work without actually interfering with said colleague's efforts. Truly such a feature is golden for the efforts of all students seeking critique of their homework; an idea that our dear Professor took advantage of when making us grade each other's work. It seriously made for some interesting class sessions I never expected.
But more importantly, I can see tremendous use for this feature outside of class and within my ambitions of novel writing. When before I hoped to seek critique from a peer about my first book, I had to attach the book to an email that would go out to my hopeful reader. Nine times out of ten, my hopeful reviewer barely even looked at it. But now, by putting the book on Drive for critique, I can not only better control who sees the book, but also am able to receive commentary to improve the work without the document being manipulated in the process.
It's just like Magic!
Blessed Be!
Good luck with your novel adventures and writing.
ReplyDeleteI could totally see you writing a novel and when you do I would love to read it. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI already finished one last year. It is titled "Rise of the Magician" and stars the 21 year old, semi-autobiographical protagonist Nicholas Priest, whose dreams to acquire vast magical power and fulfill his childhood superhero fantasies are suddenly granted and subsequently attract all sorts of evil supernatural beings to his trail that wish to destroy him. It's slightly intense, but a whole lot of fun.
Deleteyeah google drive is a great tool to use and it helps you find research for your paper
