Writing in Growth Mindset: Mantras

(My Mantra created on Cheezeburger)

I have always felt inspired by Lady Gaga and so the picture was a nobrainer and I just had to remember why I am doing my degree to come up with my mantra. I am in no way sure that the mantra has not been used before but it helps me to motivate myself so that I will be successful.

Extra Credit Reading: How Bluebird and Coyote Got Their Colors

Image
(Image found on Wikimedia ) I enjoyed reading this story so much I found it interesting that the coyote's ignorance and jealousy got the better of him. There is a great moral lesson in this story that we should not be quick to be jealous of others and we should also be careful about how ignorant we can become if we do get jealous of others things. I wish I would have read this story earlier in the semester as it would have given me a lot more ideas for stories. overall I have enjoyed this experience and I love bluebirds.  bibliography: How Bluebird and Coyote Got Their Colors by Kathrine Berry Judson

Reading A Notes: Qalagánguasê, Who Passed to the Land of Ghosts

Image
      (Photo found at Pixabay )       This story was very interesting for me to read as I truly enjoy a good ghost story. This story has inspired me to possibly write a story about a transgender male to female, who longs to become a woman but is under a curse that ghosts of his ancestors put on him. If the curse could be broken it would be from true loves kiss which is where my imagination is leading me. I feel like the boy could be haunted by the ghosts of his ancestors and possibly that he would meet a boy who would understand the transwoman's need to become a woman and would fall in love with him anyway. This would eventually lead to true love's kiss to be shared but possibly with a twist ending. we will see where my thoughts take me when it comes to this story. I may also incoporate some of my reading from the wednesday reading. bibliography: Qalagánguasê, Who Passed to the Land of Ghosts

Learning Challenge: Pomodoro Technique with my Novel

Image
I used the pomodoro technique with my novel. I found that it was extremely benificial as after doing a lot of writing many times I will feel like my energy and my mind is exhausted. By allowing myself to have a small break within the times of writing it has helped me to be able to think clearer and it also helped me to write more on my novel than I ever have before. It also helped me to focus my attention on writing the words that I needed to write on my novel. I also feel like I could incorporate these things into my writing on my assignments for my writing classes and it would help me to get more of the assignments done. I hope to definitely use this technique in the future. (I found this photo because I am currently writing at night and have always thought skyline photos were beautiful.
