Guten Tag! (Good afternoon, good morning, hello, in German.) I don't really have much to say right now, so this is just kind of a test post to see if something worked. (I changed some things around with the format.)

I have written a fractured fairy tale in the past, (Cinderedward and the Diamond Glasses) and I am trying to figure out which one to do next...
Let me know what question you think I should answer in the comment section! 

STORY IDEAS

WHAT IF ______________

  • Ariel was a human?

  • Beauty was ugly?

  • Sleeping Beauty had insomnia?

  • Little Red Riding Hood hated her grandmother?

    • I second this as a favorite

  • Snow White was allergic to all fruits?

    • I second this as a favorite

  • The princess hated all amphibians?


WHAT IF _____________NEVER___________


  • Ariel never saw Eric?

  • The Beast was never cursed?

  • Sleeping Beauty ‘s parents never forgot an extra plate?

  • Hansel and Gretel were never poor?

  • What if Little Red Riding Hood never went off the path?

  • Snow White never was found by the queen?

  • The Princess never opened the door for the frog?

WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE_____________

  • The Evil fairy from Sleeping Beauty was evil?

  • The witch found Hansel and Gretel?  (You know what I mean… -__-)

  • The wolf saw Little Red Riding Hood?

  • The Evil Queen turned evil?

    • I have an Evil Queen coffee mug that I love because I try to channel her vibe at school sometimes, but now I wonder what she was like as a child!

  • The frog met the princess?

HOW/WHY DID___________

  • Ariel’ s mother die? (Or, why does King Triton hate humans?)

    • I second this as a favorite

  • The Evil Fairy curse Aurora for something her parents did?

  •  Hansel and Gretel’ s stepmother hate them?

  • Little Red Riding Hood’s mother let a young girl go off by herself in wolf-infested woods?

  • The prince want to keep a seemingly dead girl? CREEPY!! (LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT IS NOT A VALID ANSWER!!!!!!)

    • I second this as a favorite (AND I TOTALLY AGREE! Safety, people!)

  • Princess know that she loved the frog? How did the frog know that he loved the princess? STALKING? (See previous bullet point -__-)

    Jambo sana!
    I love how you are using other languages to say hello!

    Your entire post came in my email and all I had to do was to click on Friday to bring me to your page! Well done!

    Check out your nearby libraries for writers' groups and teen writers' groups.

    Great questions! Great prompts!
    Pick your favorites, as many as you like, and write some notes on each, timeframe, location, basic characters and place them in a single scene from the original story.
    Then, pick your 3-4 favorites and 'verbal vomit' half a page.
    I call the first, initial, horrible draft the 'verbal vomit' because for me, it takes all the stress and pressure away from thinking I have to write perfectly the initial ideas. I generally don't even correct my spelling or typos, punctuation or much else when I do this, unless my typing is so off that i'ts unreadable. This can be a challenge for me, because I'm dyslexic and I tend to type faster than I think and sometimes the letters I'm hitting go down out of order.


    On to your salutations in foreign languages --
    Jambo means 'hello' in Kiswahili and Sana means big or very much or with great emphasis!
    To go a little further:
    (All vowels are the short sound, unless I highlight them. the written
    i is generally a long ee sound.)
    Habari gani? (hah-gah-ree gah-nee) How are you? How's it going?
    Mzuri sana. (Mm-zoo-ree) Very well or great.
    Habari yako? (yaa-kO) or Na wa je? (zhay) How are you or And you?
    Mzuri pia. (pee-yah) I'm good, also.
    Mzuri, asante sana. (ah-sahn-tay) Great, thank you very much.

    I studied Kiswahili (Ki-means the language of the .... Ki-inglesi, Ki-espenol, Ki-firense, and so on.) at the Foreign Service Institute in Washington, DC and lived in Kenya for 3 years.

    How about choosing 3-4 from each section and go on from there.

Good afternoon! I know I haven't written in a while. Even my own mother told me that she had forgotten that I have a blog at all! So here goes. The last time I posted was July 19th I believe. It is now September 3rd, and plenty of stuff has happened. I started school again! Our school has the options of a Hybrid style or a CORE style. Hybrid being two days IN school and the rest of the days out of school. Kids with last names beginning with the letters A-K are in group A, and the rest (including me) are in group B. Meaning of course, that literally ALL of my friends are in group A, because luck. I'll rant about that later. CORE is for the kids who don't come to school at all, so they just do all of their work online. Some of the people doing CORE I actually understand, (I have a good friend with a compromised immune system) but why would ANYONE pass up the chance to actually be in school for even that little bit of time?!?! We get to be in school Wednesday and Thursday! (Gr...

Good morning! I know I said yesterday that the first Percy Jackson movie was terrible, (I didn't even see the second one) but I also said that Logan Lerman was much better in The Perks of Being a Wallflower. That was not very fair of me, so I just wanted to say: LOGAN LERMAN IS A GOOD ACTOR IN A TERRIBLE MOVIE. Thank you. I guess I should sort of introduce myself. My name is Liberty, and my twin sister Glory is the one who wanted me to say that. I am in 7th (now 8th) grade, and I love to read. Apparently I am a good writer (though I haven't won any contests, and I have entered about 6) but I really can't draw. I'm okay in art class I guess, but I am not creative enough to just sit there and draw. I don't really know what else to say, so I'm just going to post another story: This story is one I wrote a few years ago with some of my friends. It will make absolutely no sense, but I still kind of like it.   GIFTED STORY By: Liberty Pope, A.J. Keeney, Anna Dengler, ...

Good morning! For the past few days, I have been at a family camp and it was really fun! We hiked a lot though, and I hate to exercise so that was less fun but still! Recently, I have been watching the Marvel movies, (and by recently I mean since April) and yesterday, I finished watching Avengers: Endgame. In case you haven't seen it, I promise to not write any spoilers, but let me just say: MARVEL, MAKE MORE MOVIES!! My friend Dustin who got me into Marvel and stuff told me that Marvel is going to make 20 movies in 10 YEARS. I hope he's right! The Marvel movies are SO good!! Peter Parker is my favorite hands down, but Tony Stark and Loki are tied for an extremely close second. They are both so sarcastic! HILARIOUS. If you have seen the Marvel movies, A) Don't tell me what happens in Spider-man Far From Home, I haven't seen it yet. B) Who are your favorite characters? C) What is your favorite movie? Avengers: Endgame was an AMAZING movie, but my next favorite is probabl...
