Portfolio Introduction

Below are my favorite stories that I have written so far in Mythology and Folklore. I picked the portfolio project because I need practice taking criticism and to face my fear of a blank piece of paper. Or a blank screen on my iPad in this case... I have never been much of a creative individual, and I would like that to change. I hope that storytelling will be my big creativity break! Please leave comments about anything. It won't hurt my feelings. I need help!

Week 4: The Holy Plant
This is my favorite story that I've written for this class. It's about a curious girl and her parents who meet an interesting character in the woods. The end is very open, which may be frustrating, but I love to imagine my own endings. I hope you enjoy this story!

Week 2: The Grey Part of Life
This story is about curiosity and love. A couple go on an adventure that turns out to be deadly. The author's note relates the story back to Adam and Eve. It may be the most interesting part.

Week 9: The Motel in Happy Camp
If you're a Bigfoot fan, you'll enjoy this story. It focuses on characterization and living out your dreams.

Week 11: There's Something about Australia
This story is lacking slightly in logic... It's full of magic, whimsy, and escape. The main character heads off on an adventure that is fueled by a dream. Those are the best adventures in my opinion. It's my second favorite story this semester.

Week 12: The Content Accountant
Poor Tom's life is less that ideal, and he decides to take an opportunity to escape. This is my least favorite story, but I still enjoy the thought of an adventure.

  1. Skye, it really seems like you had a lot of fun with the stories you wrote for your portfolio. I was really happy that they were all different from one another in ideas. It looks like you got to write about a lot of different things. All five of the summaries really having me wanting to click on them and read them all. I definitely am going to have to read The Content Accountant. I am actually an accounting major, so I definitely want to read this story. Great job on the summaries!
