4 – Another Challenge

August 31, 2016July 29, 2017 sablescmLeave a comment

((With the first week of school and new responsibilities swallowing up my time, I’m not particularly proud of the execution of this piece. Maybe I’ll revisit it and revise it someday.)) This is the story of a boy and a girl. The two of them were siblings, and they had very different ideas about what… Continue reading 4 – Another Challenge

The Writing of the B&B Retelling

August 27, 2016March 26, 2019 sablescmLeave a comment

Seeing as my Beauty and the Beast retelling  ended up so different from my initial idea of it, I thought this would be a good opportunity to give (and gain) some insight into how I write some of my stories. Each of my stories has its own process, but when it comes to short stories, this… Continue reading The Writing of the B&B Retelling

3 – Retelling a Fairytale

August 24, 2016March 26, 2019 sablescm5 Comments

(With the live-action coming out soon, I thought it would be interesting to read the original Beauty and the Beast and explore its core themes, as well as how those themes would change if I altered the gender roles of the characters. And then it just ran away from me. This initial structure/writing style is based upon… Continue reading 3 – Retelling a Fairytale

Writing and Me

August 20, 2016August 26, 2016 sablescm5 Comments

I never fell in love with writing. I remember in fourth grade, my school assigned my class to write picture books with the intention to read them in groups. We had a small publishing room that made covers and bindings for us. When it came my turn to share, I was so fiercely embarrassed of… Continue reading Writing and Me

2 – Rising to a Challenge

August 17, 2016January 12, 2017 sablescm3 Comments

(Not my best, but that’s my fault, so I’ll have to live with it. This ended up less of a complete enclosed story and more of a test-run of a future project, but I’ll have to put it up since it’s all I have, ahaha.) Sunrise Thea lived in settlement where the walls to the… Continue reading 2 – Rising to a Challenge

Laptop, still being stubborn

August 13, 2016August 17, 2016 sablescmLeave a comment

At the suggestion of my beloved father, I have invested in a bluetooth keyboard so that I can continue to write efficiently with my phone. However, it is not here yet, so this post is also being delayed;;

1 – A New Beginning

August 10, 2016November 20, 2016 sablescm3 Comments

(Alright, so I have been trying to fix a broken registry in my windows laptop for five days now an it is still freezing up and being a general pain. However, I do NOT want to start this challenge with a no show, so guess what? I am writing on my cell phone!!!) (Also here is proof of… Continue reading 1 – A New Beginning

Update: Travel and Challenge Prep

August 6, 2016August 5, 2016 sablescmLeave a comment

Alright, I admit it – these update posts are turning out to be more of a filler or procrastination method than actual goals-and-meeting-them. However, I do also think they are necessary, and that’s not just my crafty laziness talking, so I’m going to keep doing them. There isn’t really much to say this time though –… Continue reading Update: Travel and Challenge Prep

What Makes a Short Story?

August 3, 2016August 3, 2016 sablescmLeave a comment

Before I set off on this challenge, however, let me articulate something: I suck at short stories. That is a tried and true fact. I struggle from the very foundation up – from the very scope of my subjects, even. The issue is that I struggle with brevity, and a short story is, by nature,… Continue reading What Makes a Short Story?
