 Sevens Ways to Crush Self-Doubt & Make Good Art: Neil Gaiman's Advice on the Creative Life

     First off my thoughts on feedback specifically from your peers are that I find it very beneficial. I really enjoyed going back to my blogposts in Indian Epics and reading what my classmates had to say on posts. Last semester we did the same thing and I focused on How to Tame Your Inner Critic: A Simple Habit to Rewire Your Brain & Why it's so hard to hear negative feedback and I found both of those articles very helpful. The first article I looked at for this semester focused on crushing self-doubt. It highlighted a number of tactics you could use in order to accomplish this. 2 of those that stuck out to me the most were embracing a growth mindset which we have instilled already this semester and trusting yourself. Both of these will lead to the self-confidence you need to advance yourself and embracing vulnerability. The second article by Neil Gaiman focused on a number of things. The thing that resonated the most with me was the quote "If you're not making mistakes, you're not taking enough risks", which leads back to being vulnerable and actively pursuing a change to better yourself.

One of the best classes I took last semester was Indian Epics. I enjoyed taking Epics it was the most fun class had during a hectic schedule last semester. Being able to create and control my schedule as well as the structure of the class, in general, made it very enjoyable. One of my biggest accomplishments last semester was going finishing the semester with a 4.0 in a total of 19 hours. A few of my favorite TV shows are Snowfall, Breaking Bad, Money Heist, and Power. A couple of my favorite movies are Blue Streak, Juice, Paid in Full, and American Assassin. Some of my favorite music artists are Juice Wrld, Polo G, Money Man, and Rod Wave.

Week 13 Story: The End of Art

The End of Art          Art had just won his fierce battle against the mighty Mordred, however, he would not leave this battle unscathed. Mordred had managed to injure Art with a slash to the gut just before getting slain. Art had been bleeding profusely and was being tended to by his sire Tomas. Art had told his sire that his final wish would be to return his sword from which it had came in the sea. Tomas agreed and promised to uphold Art’s dying wish. When Tomas received the sword he examined it and saw the many jewels embedded around the sheath. Tomas asked Art, “Are you sure you want to rid of this sword, it would be better off in someone else’s possession?”. Art replied, “Yes, I have thought long and hard about this and want my sword returned to sea as I part ways with this earth.” Tomas left to the other side of the forest where the sea was and decided to hide the sword in a bush instead of getting rid of it. He returned to Art and told him he had got rid of the sword. Art asked
