Famous Last Words: This is Fine, Everything is Fine

(Made with GIPHY)

This is a visual representation of how my week is going. Everything that could've gone wrong, did. I lost some important files and had to recover older saves from the Dropbox backup and that put me way behind schedule. As did the tornado weather Wednesday night. I spent valuable time huddled in my apartment bathroom with 2 very angry cats, a 3-legged-dog, and my rat. However, its 5 am and everything is finally starting to fall into place. Hopefully, I will get to sleep soon. For some reason, I've had a tougher time this semester than usual. My brain injury has been acting up and my migraines have been worse so this semester has been a real struggle.

I've managed to wrap up most of my other classes and feel confident going into my only final, its an essay test where we will be tasked with doing a critical reading of a text we covered this semester, thankfully that's something I'm good at. Next week: SUMMER and I am going to sleep for the entirety of break.

I am proud of some writing I've done this week though. I really enjoyed writing and revising my last story for my storybook project. I am really thinking of continuing the story outside of class because I want to see what I can do with the character of Garuda I have created. I also wrote a few short lyric essays called prose poems. I wrote them because I was feeling inspired, not for a class, which is nice to do sometimes. I found some inspiration and latched onto it. A lot of the time my muse is stingy about when she makes her appearances so I seized the opportunity while I had the chance, I'm also editing two older pieces, one is a lyric essay and the other is a short story because I am submitting them for publication.

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...

Project Brainstorm/Research

I have been going over ideas in my head and I know that I want to do a storybook rather than a portfolio. I might retell the Ramayana in a new, unique way. Don't ask me what that new and/or unique way is because I have no idea yet, but I'm working on it.

Gender flipping always makes for a fun read and fresh look at an old tale. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draupadi So...
