Week 14: Growth Mindset

(Source)

  1. What did the graphic confirm?
    1. That observation is a key part of creativity. As a writer, I am very in tune with the world around me because noticing details others don't helps me craft my stories.
  2. Something New
    1. The website that this graphic comes from is awesome. Its full of inspiration and I am glad I stumbled across it. 
  3. Something I want to try
    1. Mindfulness. The idea of thinking about how to think is interesting and I really want to delve deeper into that idea. I think the only real way to "act" on this is to sit and ponder, as silly as that sounds.

    What a great graphic! I one hundred percent agree. Especially with the confidence part. I’ve sat down to try to create something, whether it’s art or music or writing and if I’m feeling insecure I can’t hide it. My work will feel timid and stifled.
    The next most important word from that list is probably action...at least for me. You can’t wait until you’re ready to make something awesome; you have to just start creating and if it’s great great if not keep making new stuff and move on. :)

Introduction to a Future Best-Selling Author

Hello, everyone, I am Erika and I've finally gotten used to blogging since taking Myth & Folklore last semester.  I am an English Writing major who has been at OU forever (I am ancient compared to some of you). I only have 2 semesters left after this one (Spring '18)! I am getting a minor in anthropology, the combination of the two makes this class the perfect fit. The best class that I took last semester was called Literature of Empire and it focused on issues such as colonialism and how its represented in different genres of fiction like steampunk and sci-fi, we even got to read the first two volumes of The League of Extraordinary Gentleman graphic novels. If I'm not at school I am probably working, I spend a lot of time toiling away at Lowe's. I work in the Hardware department and my 5 year anniversary with the company is in March. I am always surrounded by animals. Where I used to live there were 5 people, 4 cats, 3 dogs, and a snake! Now I live alone but I...

Week 13 Storytelling: Kumby's Plan

(Kumbhakarna from Smite Game Official Wiki ) As he slumbered the pounding of drums and the ringing of trumpets rolled through his unconscious mind.  Though he was cursed to slumber for half of the year, Kumby still absorbed the happenings around him. Kumby slumbered on but the pounding of drums grew steadily louder. He rolled over, covering his ears with his massive arms. However, his giant arms were not enough to drown out the sounds. "Kumby! Wake up brother, I need you now!"  a distant voice called, cutting through the fog in his mind. "Rav?" he muttered groggily. The voice called again. Kumby's eyes opened slowly blinking away the sleep. He rubbed at them with the backs of his meaty hands. "Kumby, brother, the kingdom is under attack. We are at war. I need you fighting beside me," Rav said, clapping his brother on his enormous shoulder. Kumby, the giant, blinked again willing all of the grogginess out of his mind. "What wa...
