Short Story Writing Process

My Story

Core Competency Reflection

Creative Thinking Prompts

Some skills I have developed to make my creative activities better are adding more descriptive pieces to my story, so that It could add more details to my writing in order for it to be longer, and also so that the reader can feel and fully experience what i am writing.

I am so curious about what I have in my head that I am excited to learn more about how I could try to add more pieces to my writing, so that the reader can go through the adventure of my story.

When it seems the good ideas just won’t come to me, I try to reset mybthoughts walk or take a break to help calm myself or create space in my mind to refresh my head and start with a new thought or idea.

My Goal

My goal is to learn how to develop my poems in a more specific and descriptive way, usin only my thoughts, or my brainstorming ideas.

Midsummer: The Movie

My movie

Character, Setting and Mood

Creating this movie made me realize that to find a characters identity markers you will need to study about their history and the environment they lived in, i showed my learing by giving the characters a darker skin tone as i knew that it was hot in Greece which meant that they were probably tanned. Through creating the mvie i also learned that to find a setting you will need to know where the story is being told from, i showed this in my movie by making a dark forest the setting for Lysander and Hermias escape because in the story Hermia and Lysadner said that they had to go through the woods which was hard to see in because it was dark, which helped me imagine that they were probably in a dark forest filled with trees. In my movie i decided to put a dramatic and emotional song as my music choice because it fit the the story as there was alot of drama in the story and because the story had some emotional scenes.
