Número Tres

I got lots of feedback on my blog from people from my cohort. It was cool to see how people really appreciated what I was doing, and someone even told me that my project was one of their favorites, that was soooo cool. Thankfully, it gave me a boost to keep going and try harder. I really appreciated the encouragement and I'm so glad it helped me out. I haven't tweaked or rethought anything, but I might not write a book like I originally wanted, I think I'm just going to stick to the blog.

So far, I have accomplished a lot, and it has really helped my confidence. I have posted to blog posts since the beginning, and the crazy thing is that I have received almost 150 views on my blog!! That was so cool to see that what I was doing had an impact.

Some resources I used were:

Jumbled Words of Thanks

Progress...

I didn't get much feedback from my project pitch. I only got asked if I was going to be a pastor. Outside of my pitch presentation, I have gotten pretty good feedback about the idea. Some people have told me they would like to read it, and there area obvious some people who could care less and don't support the idea. But, although I have gotten some negative feedback, I am going to continue doing what I am passionate about. I started up my blog on the twelfth, and in the past two days, I have already gotten 14 views on my blog. Now although 14 views doesn't seem like much, I am hoping to track the number of people reading my blog, and at the end track my progress.

Some new ideas I have include writing a short book about life experiences. I am extremely looking forward to the end product, but I am also looking forward to the journey and the way I can change spiritually throughout this process.

I haven't really tweaked my inquiry question, but I am sure it will change very soon because this experience is going to be very different from anything I have ever done, and it is also very inconsistent and will probably cause me to change my goals/ questions. 

So far, I have started my blog and posted my first one. I haven't gotten as far as I have wanted, but I am looking forward to improving my rate of posts. I am hoping that I can post weekly, but I am also hoping to post with reason not just because I have a due date.

My goal for this class period was to finish this second post, and reflect/ track the amount of people who viewed my blog. I accomplished this by completing the post and figuring out that 14 people have seen my blog. 

Before my next blog post, I will have a new post up on  my website "Saved and Remade" (the link is below" I am also hoping that I will have a new inspiration for my upcoming posts.

My goals for my Genius Hour project is to share with others the way God has impacted my life, and the way He intervenes in the lives of others. How does God work through the lives of the people around me, and including myself.? I will measure my progress by the comments made on my posts and the views I get from the people who read it. I'm ready and excited to see what God has in store!!! The timeline I will have for this next year is a continuous timeline instead of a stretched out timeline. Since I am writing weekly, I am going to have to restart that timeline each week.

Throughout this year, I am anxiously waiting to see who this affects and how they are affected. I am going to be writing mini posts on many areas of Christianity, but for the most part, I will be writing about my personal experiences of encounters with God.

This is going to be a rollercoaster, but as Diablo Cody says, "There's something about a roller coaster that triggers strong feelings, maybe because most of us associate them with childhood. They're inherently cinematic; the very shape of a coaster, all hills and valleys and sickening helices, evokes a human emotional response."
