Journey and Blue moon in making shapely fiction! week 7

 There once was a man who happened to buy God's overcoat. At first, I thought it was just a really advanced holographic coat which made it appear as if it were made out of water. But when I brushed past him in the tight casino and I was wet I knew it was no ordinary coat. Deciding to test my eyes and see if I had just been slipped something, I followed the man through the casino until he sat down with a bunch of people that were adorning similar accessories as him. One woman wore a hat made of fire, another had a necklace so bright it seemed like a star. But the thing is, no one else seemed to look, no one else seemed to get wet by the waterfall coat and no one spared a glance at the hat that flew off the man's head itself. Sitting down with the bunch the man with the waterfall coat it off to reveal a symbol along the inside collar that looked like a trident. 

"How much you chipping?" the lady with the fire crown asked.

"100 red." I tossed my chips into the board.

"Your funny, turn them into drachma so we can start I have a good feeling and I'm tryna get the matching set of feather shoes before they fly away." The man with the feather hat stretched his hands and tossed a set of gold coins onto the round table.

"Are you guys magicians?" I ask not being able to hold my tongue. I know crazy things happen in Las Vegas but how was no one else at least staring!

"Boy, we are no more magicians than you. Must be a roman kid I swear they are always this clueless," The waterfall man says.

"What are you talking about? I'm from Arizona?" They all look around with a slight look of realization. They all get up putting on their attire.

"Come with us, there's some explaining that needs to happen." And just like that, I followed the lady with the star necklace and her magical friends into the world of the greek and roman gods.

Aha and Trauma in making shapely fiction! Week 8

  My cousin and I have never gotten along. While some consider their family their biggest cheerleader, mine is my competition. Whether it be school, work, or relationship-wise I have always been competing against my siblings and cousins to be the best. My siblings are much older and well into their own lives so we don't compete in the same field. But my cousin and I were born on the same day. I should've considered him my twin considering how we grew up together but no. He has always tried to take what's mine from the minute we were born to prove he was better. This time, it wasn't a competition for me. I have finally found the love of my life, the one meant for me. The only problem is, she works in the city while I work 2 hours away. My cousin just so happens to be working in the same building as her. After tonight it wasn't going to matter though, I was going to ask her to marry me and I know she'll say yes. I drive on my way to the city ready to meet her for ...

The prefab story exercise! week 2

  Rings to Hold “Beep beep beep.” The dreaded sound of a car horn announces that my sister from hell has arrived. My mother rushes out the door to greet her fiancee jumping into her arms. And I couldn’t blame them, although my new stepsister is a pain, her mother is amazing.  “Grace come outside and help grab some bags.” I leave the sanctuary of my room and walk headfirst into Sam holding her bags. “Watch it! God, I didn’t know you were such a clutz,” without even waiting for me to respond she pushes my shoulder and walks down the hallway. I don’t know where she is going since she has never been here before. Whipping my hair back I walk out to greet Alex my mom’s wife-to-be. She pulls me in for a hug kissing the top of my head. She pulls back and grabs my face and says, “Can you believe we are getting married this weekend!” I smile sweetly at her. “I sure can, we’ve been prepping for this for months and I’m glad we are finally done with all that work and can now move in to...

Using research to make your stories better! Week 14

Take a look at your novel and find a place where you can incorporate research—where you can use research to become even more precise in language and details Report how you plan to use the research in your story.  Some possible places to look: Story: the 18th rule- Takes place in a world where children are mute until they turn 18 where the government has to physically "turn on" their ability to speak. Landscape and setting--Flora and fauna-- Weather and Meteorology Normal world and setting with more advancements. The ideology of humans is still the same but they experience a new type of normal that includes them letting their government control them. I can research places in the world where the government is more strict. If they control their ability to speak they must have more strict rules surrounding what they can and can't do as well. I can research countries that are more government-controlled and see where else the government controls them. Character’...
