Self-evaluation vs. external feedback: The value of each to the novel writing process

There is often a gap between what you think you’ve put on the page and what you have actually put on the page. Seeking outside assistance when evaluating your novel draft can help you identify gaps that you might miss on your own.

When you’re writing a novel, there are many benefits to both evaluating your own writing and getting feedback from others. Evaluating your own writing can help you identify any potential problems with your story, such as plot holes, inconsistencies, or underdeveloped characters. It can also help you improve your writing style and make sure that your novel is as engaging as possible. However,…

Leadership Philosophy--Self-Awareness

What are your personal values and how does that impact your leadership abilities? My personal values revolved around my faith and my family. I always pray before I go and depend upon my faith system to guide my next steps. I spend time in my Bible and with my family to draw within me strength, clarity of purpose and motivation for hard work. I value alone time to recharge and clear my head. I am…

MaxwellChu-Self-evaluation

Throughout the course of IGME 480, the skills that I have learned include javascript art production, AI data analysis, creating an un-drawing machine, and a basic understanding of how openAI works in python. To list the work I have done, they are the Training Camp (skill-building), Chance, Indeterminacy & Rule-based Systems, Un-Drawing Machine, AI & ML I: Augmented Body, AI/ML II: Image Synthesis & Classification, and Self-directed Final Project. The first on this list involved programming art in p5.js on the website OpenProcessing. The next one focused on generative art theory and études. Then comes machines learning to replicate drawing styles based on humans, but they can’t due to creative limitations. Augmented bodies showed how user interface can be shown throughout the entire body. After that is the study of how AI can analyze data and images to output various solutions. Finally, the self-directed final project focused on daily generative AI programming. Based on course activities, some new ideas I was thinking of were from the final project. I was considering exploring what else openAI can develop and be posted on social media in the same way as what was done in that project. A change that has stimulated my art activities would involve the assignment where I used poseNet in p5.js to create a filter. It made me think about facial tracking in a different way since it's so common in social media apps. My weakest area was the image synthesis assignment. I encountered too many errors while trying to complete it. I don't believe anything else is relevant to know about my experiences. If I were to give myself a letter grade based on what was answered in the labor contract, it would be a B. This is from missing two additional projects, as seen in Missed Deliverables II. I don’t believe I have had at least three unexcused absences, so that should not affect my grade. All in all, I believe I have done a satisfactory job in this course.

"I wish I could write more"

...was what I started to think, but I caught myself.

wishing things like that, as I've known, is a fast track to needless comparison and evaluation. I know that for a fact because I started thinking that when I saw what someone else had written

we'll, I caught myself. now to doing what I would do irrespective of external input.

I'm torn. I’m in my annual self-evaluation, checking up on my thoughts. I’m not sure of which self I’m talking with right now. I already feel like there are so many versions of me and I don’t know which of which is my most honest self. I have already had a tough time dealing with my emotions ever since. Right now, I feel like things are getting more intense, and I don't know if I’m still carrying out things correctly or if this really is for the better.

I really don't understand the problem with self diagnosing. Please tell me what's wrong with finding a word that describes your entire life, and then going through the DSM-5 and learning everything about it and fully understanding yourself, and then making accommodations for yourself now you really understand. Instead of having panic attacks everyday in the school toilets, I bought myself earplugs that really help me. Instead of crying after a social situation, I no longer blame myself. Instead of partaking in unhealthy coping mechanisms whenever I feel the urge to stim, I now let it out and make myself feel so much better. I let myself rest. And no, I have never said to anyone "I am autistic" because I am not diagnosed. I don't scream it to every person I meet, I'm not faking anything. I'm letting myself feel, because for the first time in forever, I realise that I'm not alone. There are people out there that feel the same way!! I'm not pathetic for crying and "acting out" after a plan or my routine change. I'm not stupid for not knowing how to speak. I'm not immature for taking longer to learn how to do things that other people find easy. I'm not alone!!! It feels like a breath of fresh air, because the DSM-5 for autism is literally my entire life written into words, and I can't even begin to explain how it feels. Maybe self diagnosis isn't valid, but what harm am I doing? I feel so so much better now I have a word for how I feel.

a LOT of ladies failing this test. A LOT!!!

[autisticlee]

"just be yourself" has always been one of my most hated things to hear from someone. it may sound simple and easy to you, but when you grew up never able formed a single solid personality (because you grew up autistic or for some other reason) and/or have always felt more like 20 different personalities in a trench coat who fight over who is supposed to be in charge, that "simple" advice is so much less simple.....it can even seem impossible.

Week 1 Evaluation

It's been a week since I've started this journey, so let's reflect on how the first week has been!

First of all, let's have a refresher on what my GOALS for this 30 days initially is~

Fixing my sleep schedule

Incorporate more physical activities (doesn't have to be exercising, can be stretches or walks!)

Drawing more often for practice

Sleep:

I'd say sleep wise, I'm slowly getting better at it. Though, there are moments where I couldn't get myself to sleep and ended up getting worse. But in general, I think I've made good progress than before I started on this journey, so good job me! ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧

Physical activities:

I'm pretty proud of my progress for this! So far, I've managed to do something everyday for the past week to get my body moving! Whether it be actually following along exercising videos on Youtube or some stretching to ease some tension on muscles! Again, good job to myself uwu

Drawing:

Now this. I did NOT meet this goal at all during this entire week, which is a shame. I think I was focusing a lot on taking better care of my own body that the thought of taking care of my skill set kinda slipped my mind? Which, to be fair, is kind of expected since even trying to remind myself to do certain basic self care task is difficult in itself. So, it's okay, we'll just have to do better during the following week~

Extras:

Other extra stuff for my health that I think would I've done well is also finally taking my meds and vitamins. Though it's not consistent yet, I'm glad I finally was able to take them more than I was before. This goes for my water intake as well! Sometimes I would go on days without drinking any water at all, which is quite bad... But now that I'm trying to actively record down my days and what I've done to better my body, it serves as a reminder in itself to drink more water, so yayyy another great job done for me °ʚ(´꒳`)ɞ°

˚₊‧꒰ა ☆ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚

Things I need to improve/add for the following week:

After a week into this journey, I think I'd like to adjust some of my goals and be a little more specific in what I want to achieve for hopefully the next week! This will help me be a little clearer with what I need to do and help myself feel good in the future >:)

Try to sleep 30 mins earlier than the last, but the latest time for me to go to bed would be 3am. I have been doing quite okay with only a few slips here and there on this. So hopefully by the end of the next week, I can somehow sleep around 12am instead.

Still moving my body every single day, but let's try to exercise 3 times this week for at least 30 minutes! It's been a long time since I've exercised that I forgot how good I always feel afterwards both physically and mentally. So yes, I'd like to challenge myself to actually do some exercise more often! ( *` • ω •´)ゝ

Since I have 0 progress on my drawing, I want to start slow and easy myself into it. Since it feels daunting (for some reason), let's try achieving at least 30 minutes per day for 3 days of art practice. Can be anything, like anatomy, color study, or even just my own personal art. As long as it reaches the goal I set, then it's good :>

emo Nico x scene Will Solace...

[beaft]

today i went through my wardrobe in my childhood room and got rid of a bunch of clothes that i haven't worn for years. i used to dress very manic-pixie-dream-girl: lots of pastels and polka dots, glitter and sequins and ribbons and ruffles, babydoll dresses, rainbow knee socks, candy bracelets, trainers that lit up and flashed when i walked.

i got a little sad while i was bundling it all into boxes - i guess because a part of me still loves those clothes, even though they don't feel like me anymore. transition has been good for me and hard for me in equal measure, because it's forced me to examine who i am beyond my appearance. as a teenager, i was very wedded to the idea of being small and cute and elfin and non-threatening, and i got a lot of euphoria whenever people viewed or described me that way.

but was it a healthy sort of euphoria? some of it was connected to poor body image - i was terrified of being fat, terrified of looking ugly. i don't know if it's good to tie your identity and your happiness to something as ephemeral as prettiness. sometimes the things that make you happy aren't necessarily the things that are best for you. being told that i looked "fragile" made me happy once, but that doesn't mean it was good for me to hear.

when it comes down to it, i think my ultimate goal is to be myself, utterly myself, and for my sense of self-worth to be divorced from other people's opinions. i want to abandon my desire for the approval of strangers. it's the difference between an uncomfortable, itchy designer outfit that you only wear because it gets you compliments, and a boring, comfortable sweatshirt that smells like home.
