How well are the reading and writing assignments working for you?
I think the assignments have been working well! Everything is going according to plan for the most part.
Are you happy with your blog? With your project website?
I'm am very happy with my site! For my blog, I used a function over form approach. I think it's a solid minimalist blog that I'm happy with.
Are you satisfied with how the writing is going for your project? How about your story posts?
I think my writing is going well! I haven't had any issues thus far. I love the idea if the portfolio being the place to showcase your 4 best stories.
What do you consider to be your biggest accomplishment(s) in your writing for this class?
One of my biggest accomplishments thus far has been just actually writing. It's always been hard for me to follow through with plans to write.
What has been your favorite reading so far?
My favorite reading thus far has been Raja Rasalu and how he killed the giants.
Are your reading notes helping you each week with your story post?
Yes, greatly! I never realized how note-taking like that can make writing so much more effective and impactful.
Have you discovered any new reading/research strategies?
One of the reading strategies I've been using is "spreed" reading! Spreed is a google chrome extension that centers text in the middle of your screen and positions it in a way that allows you to read at speeds upwards of 500 wpm!!! I never set it to read past ~400 wpm or so. Even at slower settings, I still am able to read huge blocks of text much faster and more efficiently. I definitely recommend it for individuals that have to read lots of online text.
Is there anything you want/need to do in order to get more out of the reading and writing experiences in this class?

I think I need to revisit my course schedule and formulate a new one that fits my current schedule better. My primary issue is dedicating more time to the course so I can finish early, but I know that's an easy fix.
