Writers…. Not Block?
I went to the Wadsworth Atheneum a few years ago with my parents midway through a trip visiting family.

Another Mountain Climbed

Story Analysis
The story I wrote about was very out of the ordinary, which is why it pulled me in so much and grabbed my attention the entire time. One of that I think would be an appropriate way to present this story is using images. My main character in the story, Sam, traveled to London, France,… Continue reading Story Analysis -

This life is yours. This life is yours. Some of it was to you; the rest you made by yourself. This fortune cookie is speaking to me in the fact that this life is mine. I CAN do anything I want in this life.

The rest of my life is made by me and I want to take these beautiful things that I have been through and use my creativity to make myself and others happy. -

I learned a lot this week! – Weekly Summary
This week was busy as usual for me, but I got it all done! Go me! I tried to approach this week by getting the daily creates out of the way first. My favorite of those assignments was to develop a decorative letter for my first name. I used Gimp to do this, and the bucket tool was beneficial. I think had I used a clearer image, it would have turned out a bit better tho. There was a lot of writing this week, and my favorite post was about finding three songs that capture an emotion. I thought that… -

To Blog, or Not To Blog… Nah, I’d like to pass this class!
Whew! So much reading this week. If you are like me, this week has been a challenging one. Learning more about how stories are told is a lot deeper than I had imagined. The article about hyper-linking and how digital conversations can be transformed into works of art was fascinating. When I first heard about Netflix’s idea to transform a movie into a digital narrative in a “Choose your own adventure” style called Bandersnatch I was elated! Even more so when I heard it was in the Black Mirror world. (Complete detour, but if you like that show, check out Inside No. 9,…
