Topic Brainstorm

The Story of Beowulf

The Story of Beowulf is one of the topics I am interested in writing about. I read it in high school and we also watched the animated film. I enjoy reading it and I think I could do something with it that I could be proud of. I would be interested in retelling the story in the eyes of the monsters, Grendel or his mother.

Through the Looking Glass

Through the Looking Glass is another topic I would be interested in covering for one of my options. I think that I want to somehow make it into a horror story, which could possibly be a stretch, but it would be fun to write. I have read the children's version of the story. I have also seen multiple movies that retell the story in a different way. 

Nursery Rhymes

Nursery Rhymes interest me because I was told them growing up. I have seen a few different stories based on the rhymes, but I would like to go a different direction. I would like to tie in all of the stories and characters in a more current setting. I want to learn about my own creativity and how this part of the project can test it. 

Brothers Grimm

Brothers Grimm is an easy choice for me. I have always heard about these stories and the dark turn that most of them take. I have not quite chosen which specific story I would like to retell, but I want to put my own twist on the story. I might possibly tie it into another story or maybe one of the nursery rhymes.

Introduction a horror fanatic

Hello! My name is Tabitha. I go by Tabi to the people who know me. I think Tabitha sounds like an older woman, so I shortened it for now and no, I cannot wiggle my nose like the daughter on  Bewitched.  Although, I do have blue eyes like her. Anyway, I am 25 years old. I transferred here after a few major changes. Going from a science degree to accounting took some time. I have been a senior a few years now. I make myself feel better by saying that I have two associate degrees. Accounting is something that has always been intriguing to me. It is interesting to me because accounting is like a huge difficult puzzle piece. Everything has its own place in accounting and it is my job to find it or fix the placement. I am currently going for my bachelors, then will get a job and work on my master’s degree in accounting. I have not picked a field yet, but I intend to before school ends for me.  I am a huge horror genre fan. I also love thrillers and supernatural type shows, books, an

Week 7 Story: Love is in the Air

Image
Update: This story is in my portfolio. https://sites.google.com/view/colortheworld/home Love is in the Air Love is all around in Princeton town. The birds are chirping. The sun is out and there isn’t a frown in sight. The couples are taking afternoon strolls on campus and having picnics on the lawn. University students here are either in a relationship or casually dating. Then there was Sally. Sally is a girl who you would normally see in the corner with her nose in a book or in the cafeteria by herself doing homework. Sally didn’t have the best luck when it came to her love life or lack thereof. She would put her head down when she walked and shy away from any conversation that was not about school. On the other side of the cafeteria, we had Austin. Austin was an outcast, to say the least. He had a few friends, but they only bonded over how much they didn’t fit in. He was into graphic novels and video games. Austin would always look at Sally from afar, but she never no
