Writing

Something I love to do is writing. I really like reading, but whenever I read, I always think, oh, what if that happened? Or, I think the author should have done this here.

And when I write, I get to make stories the way I want them to be. My friends always tease me about how I have so many ideas, and… maaaaaaaaaybe I do have a lot of ideas, and MAYBE I end up talking too much because of that, but that’s only because I have SO MUCH TO SAY! So… DON’T JUDGE.

And with writing, I can create characters, places, I could create a teleporting machine that the protagonist accidentally found and learned that it was from 1852, but it’s super dangerous to use… I can really do anything I want with stories.

And that’s what makes it so cool — that I can make the world the way I wished it was in my story, or if I’m mad, or sad, I could write a scene that channeled that.

Well, that’s all for now — thanks for reading! Bye!

My Comic

Old Dog and Coyote

 

For Language Arts, we were supposed to choose a wisdom tale and make a comic out of it. I chose Old Dog and Coyote.  I chose this because it had been one of my favorite wisdom tales that we’d read. The moral of this story (in my opinion) was that teamwork will work even in unlikely teams.

A wisdom tale is a story that doesn’t talk about anybody specific, so it can relate to anything, and it has a moral.

I created this comic using an app called Procreate for the drawings, and PicCollage to put all the drawings together. Procreate is a great app for drawing, it has all sorts of cool features and pens, so I could draw the grass with that easily, and PicCollage is an app where you can make collages, so I took screenshots of the drawings I made in Procreate and put them together in PicCollage.

This was pretty hard for me, as drawing is deeeeeeefinetly not where I shine, but it was fun, and I learned from this, so that’s good.

My Remote Week

Recently, after Thanksgiving break, my school had an all remote week, to be safe, since many people were traveling or had family or friends come in for the break. My school normally does a hybrid thing, where  half the school comes on Mondays and Wednesdays, and the other half come on Tuesdays and Thursdays, unless you’re all remote.

The all remote week was hard, but also easier, in a way. It was hard having call after call after call, but I finished my work earlier then I usually do, so that was good.

We’re going to have another week like this after winter break, and I’m going to try and make it very productive.

Sorry this is so short! Thank you for reading!
