Tuesday, April Fools Day! Today I woke to the sound of puppies whining.  Those little beasts will soon delivery me a one of a kind, truly black and white fur coat to enhance my wardrobe.  I live for fur, I worship fur. After all, is there a woman in all this wretched world who doesn’t? My breakfast … Continue reading Dear Diary

In the creation of the virtual world have we created an eternal exists for ourselves?  We put our thoughts, pictures, and comments out there for the world to see . . . but, do we want them to be seen forever? My mother-in-law passed away five years ago.  Today she still has a facebook page.  … Continue reading Data of the Dead

Cinderella’s Story This week I watched a youtube presentation by Kurt Vonnegut where he discusses The Shape of Stories and how there is no reason stories can’t be fed into computers.  His point is that stories have common elements such as a scale that has good fortune at the top of the scale and ill fortune … Continue reading Cinderella and Elizabeth

  In this blog I am introducing you to my host character who will become part of future stories.  For fun I created her as a comic in Bitstrips.  Give it a try. Esmerelda is a fortune teller who can see the deep dark truths of the past, present and future.  She gazes into her crystal … Continue reading Meet Esmerelda

This weeks posts will be focused on writing and raving about things read. The first thing I did this week was read a horror comic, Last Respects from Tales from the Crypt #3 and I left a comment on the site.  The fictional horror story seems to be effective at startling its reader and the ending may even induce … Continue reading Rave Reviews

Another week of digital storytelling by blog in the horror genre!  This week placed greater demands on the use of digital mediums and definitely broadened my skillset for the use of audio and visual software applications.  I am truly thankful for the low tech assignments but twice as thankful for those who provided tutorials for how … Continue reading Week 2 Summary for welcome to my nightmare

For this post I watched three old movies which used evil dolls to depict a horror story.  As instructed, I am providing my review of these films. I love the old Twilight Zone movies.  The use of black and white film, the music and the narrator are epoch and make a great impact on the movies.  The one I … Continue reading Phobia Movie Response

The story of how Slender Man was created seems to me like a new means of storytelling.  The free form, high level of collaboration on the character and his image doesn’t seem like the “standard” method for an author and an illustrator who each create their work either alone or with true interaction with one or … Continue reading Storytelling on the web

The Daily Create –

I’m sorry Tom, I can’t hear you . . .I don’t have my glasses on!

I cannot say it loud enough – – – OMG!  Until this week my online social media was confined to facebook; and even on that I limited myself to viewing and clicking the like button.  That’s because anytime I attempted to make a comment it ended up on the wrong post.  And let’s not even … →
