Digital Story- 26 Years & Counting
My digital story about the relationship between my parents who are my personal heroes. The story took so many turns as I filmed them and found it so hard to pick out 3 minutes from all of the clips. In the end I was happy with the product which I felt was genuine and an […]

Daily Create: Lucky 7s
It’s like time slows down and your life flashes before your eyes.All the things, big and little that brought you to where you are right now in that moment goes by in little spurts: Past jobs, past purchases, past decisions, the most recent of them being to spontaneously come to the casino and blow your last two hundred dollars. Who cares about rent? Or getting a plane ride back home? Why not let loose? Got to live in the moment right?Live in the moment. The mantra for half the stupid crap you've done, particularly the stuff that caused you to end up in the hospital with a broken limb. The mantra that got you to ask out that one girl at that one bar at that one time, along with four shots of tequila for an extra boost of confidence. God help you if you actually remembered her name now. The mantra that reverberated through your mind as you lost dollar after dollar, whether it be to drinks, craps, or blackjack. You decide to spend your last bit on cheap beer and the slots, the only thing you could afford after the beer.You wondered, as the world went back to normal speed, the past going back to being to the past, and the last red seven slid in to place, black line running through it and its brothers, how many more times you’d utter live in the moment, with a moment as bright and golden as this coming in to focus, into reality, before it all became more moments to flash by. -
Daily Create: What Matters Least?
Reality Television“Did you see what she did on last night’s episode of…”I sigh, turning on the volume to a level that could probably deafen me, but I still hear them. It’s “this celebrity did this or this one fought with that one and this one called the other a no good ratchet…, well you get the idea.This is totally not what I come to work to talk about. Like really, what is the point to watching one woman pull the weave out of another woman’s head? Or see one washed-up rapper’s ex become another’s baby mama. Like really? What makes reality TV so interesting? Where’s the substance? Where’s the role models?What’s so wrong with watching a good scripted TV show? What’s wrong with watching fiction? Why should the good shows be canceled to make room for another show about America’s next whatever?“Oh and I don’t know how she thought she could stay when she…”Ugh. Time to turn the volume up louder. Hopefully my ears can take it.Reality TV, I really care not for thee. -
Digital Story Storyboard

Instead of telling the story of going to the Conference on College Composition and Communication last year, I will tell the story of my thesis project–its evolution, development, process, and (pending) results.Filed under: Daily Create Tagged: CCCC, conference on college composition and communication, […]

Daily Create: The Most Famous Novel No One Has Ever Heard of
The Sorcerer’s TouchElla and Caleb made it through and back the Sea of Mirage by the skin of their teeth and the Jewel of Sight barely in their grasp, but their journey is still far from over. With tension and differing ideals growing between them, they now must come face to face with the Sorcerer of Melarn; one of the most powerful men in all of the Tales combined, and hopefully persuades him to join their cause. That’s if they can manage to pull together past their issues and pass his tests. It’s either that, or risk turning into extra ingredients for his spells, while simultaneously plunging all of Melarn into chaos. Hey, who said getting back home was going to be easy?Alana Watson’s fourth novel, The Sorcerer’s Touch, is a thrilling and suspenseful follow up to Voyage of Visions and their predecessor, The Diamond Force. Readers will enjoy the exciting and darker twists that have yet to be seen in the Tales Saga. -

Ok, I’m starting to master the concept of digital storytelling. Please bear with me, I totally suck at drawing, and drawing with a mouse and keyboard is a tough challenge and requires bravery at it’s best level to present it. Also, try not to take notice of the nasty man voice. I’m no Taylor Swift, […]

The only internet go to I have is FaceBook and Youtube. Watching music videos are fun, and it is always good to keep up with what your friends and family are up to. Some of the posts on FaceBook are so stupid, like silly pictures of coke bottles and certain rubbish obscene things, but FaceBook […]

Leah Price thinks that we are what we read. Well, I’m not too sure that I think I’m a book, but nonetheless reading is a favorite pastime of mine. The scent of pages bound together in a novel can’t possibly be replaced by the sliding of a Kindle. If I were an author, I’d much rather have published, […]

Technology and me??? Unfortunately, (yes, truly sadly it is unfortunate) I am not the best of friends with technology. I stick to old school things, and dislike any kind of hi tech stuff, like kindles, iPads, iPhones, iPods, you name it, I don’t have it. It sucks, but I seriously lack the confidence in moving […]

Daily Create 2/6
I have an unhealthy relationship with my social media outlets. I have a knack for constantly checking for updates on my phone or any computer device I get my hands on. My daily routine consists of checking Facebook multiple times a day and, now, mindlessly re-tweeting others on Twitter.
So I took matters in to my own hands and deactivated Facebook to withdraw myself from my internet social life. It’s a much needed break for my own perception of my outward image to the rest of my peers. Life without Facebook allows me to retract from the unconscious desire to please others and to be well-liked. -

This picture encapsulates my relationship with technology. A photograph taken with a hand-held device with the use of the front-view camera; otherwise now widely known as a ‘selfie.’ I am always taking snapshots of my adventures with my friends or checking into locations and restaurants whenever I am at any sort of social outing. These records are always update either on Facebook or on Twitter, which I have a poor habit of constantly checking on either my smartphone or laptop.
