Project Brainstorm

 1. My first thought is Greek goddesses. This is a very wide variety of information and that would allow the story to truly be taken in any direction that I wanted. I was thinking of doing a Real Goddess of Ancient Greece, similar to the Real Housewives of Orange County. I am interested in this because there are so many myths written in Ancient Greece but very rarely are they from the woman's perspective. The women, however, often drive the story lines and they are the ones who put the curses on people or fight with the gods.

2.  My second thought was the Norse gods. They, similar to the Greek, have a lot of drama and a lot of key players. I wanted to do an actual rendition of these Norse gods within the Marvel universe. They are thrown in there and they are main characters, but are they truly depicted the way they should be. I love the Norse mythology and how much it differs from those that are well known. I want to research further into who would be responsible for things that occur across the nine realms and how they got to be in that position.

3. My third thought was Fairy Tale Villains. It has become more popular in recent days to tell the villain's side of the story, but what if they were truly trying to help. I think it would be interesting to dive further into the psychological motives of each of the villains. This would be justification for their side of the story. I am interested in this because I love fairy tale books. They create such a beautiful worlds to dive into and forget yourself. However, the villains also live in these worlds. They are citizens there too and that causes them to want to better the world around them.

4. My final thought was about the Greek Titans. They are often overlooked in many modern retelling of the mythologies. I think that who they are and how they lived before these mythological tales take place. They each have a power or a purpose that kept them in power. I think that it would be cool to do their lives in a growing up teen type of story.

Introduction to Me

 Hi! I am a junior at the University of Oklahoma. I am studying psychology with a health and exercise science minor. I love psychology because I think people are very interesting. I do not think people realize how similar they are to other people. I think studying psychology has helped me immensely learn how to work with and adapt to those around me both in personal relationships and in work relationships. Over my two years, I have taken some really interesting courses. I think my favorite so far has been social psychology because I think that there is a lot to be learned about those around us. However, my most challenging class was anatomy. I learned so much about the human body and how phenomenal it is that all of these parts work together to create and function us as human beings. As interesting as it was, it was an extremely difficult course. I was pushed to the point of stress I didn't even know I had. I am a better student because of anatomy but in the moment I was overly str...

Week Fourteen Story: Furies and Heretics

Dante's Divine Comedy  translated by Tony Kline We had entered Cante 9. I heard my master saying something from behind me but I could not place it. I was distracted by a tall tower that reached far above me. I squinted trying to see better. Then, three furies flew down. They were stained with blood and holding a woman. But, she was not normal. She had green snakes coming from her scalp. They were tearing at her breast. She screamed mercilessly and attempted to swat them away. Suddenly their attention shifted towards me. They attempted to use Medusa in their attack towards me. My master told me to hide my eyes and turn my back. No matter what persuaded me otherwise. As she came towards us, there was a loud crash that shook both the banks. My master told me to focus on the mist. Only the mist. More than a thousand spirits scattered from the water. Amongst them was a Stygain ferry with dry feet. He waved the mist away with annoyance. I knew he was a messenger from Heaven. He walked to...
