Week 11: One more Week12/5/2021 My WorkThis week was the week before week 12, the last week, and it is very stressful. I was able to finish my second story and get more advice and let people read them and tell me if I needed anything or whatever they thought. One of my friends suggested i let them comment and so I changed the settings so that people who read my stories can comment on them for suggestions and grammar mistakes. So far, I have gotten some comments and resolved them and took the advice. I have made an outline for my third story but still not sure if I will be able to complete it in time. For the Last WeekFor the last week I will be working hard and trying to make everything go well and prepare my slides for my presentation. I will definingly be stressed but so far it has been a fun experience.

Week 10: Third Story?11/28/2021 What Did I Do?This week i worked more on my second short story and fixed the mistakes. I am almost done with it and I like this story and I am kinda proud of myself. I have gotten more advice on it which has helped me more with making it interesting. I have also learned from the advice that I have really bad grammar. I knew this but hearing it made me realize how bad i was. I now have a friend check over every sentence to look for grammar mistakes. The Third StorySo now the final being two weeks away I am thinking that I may be able to make a short third story and I have an idea for it and I will post it later because it has a twist. It may not happen so don't be mad.

Week 9: Working11/21/2021 FixingThis week I worked more on my second short story and looked over it. I also looked back on my first short story and went through and made sure the simple mistakes were taken care of, like grammar, and that it made sense. I also talked with some peers to get their opinion and advice on it and i was able to gain some feedback and fix what needed to be fixed. I was also given some feedback on what I had so far on my second story. I fixed minor details in that and then thought about time to see if I would be able to make a third story. I think it is possible but I will have to make sure I work efficiently and make time for it. What to Do NextFor week ten I plan on working more on my story and if I have time then I will be working on a third story and make sure the second story is good and look over it.

Week 8: Second Story11/14/2021 What I Have DoneThis week I have worked on the second story which is called "The Almost Flood". I was able to get some help from peers and got advice about it and corrections on little stuff like grammar. I have also been given suggestions on what to do and what will be interesting. I wrote down the suggestions and what other people have said to have them has ideas or things to do. For example, people have asked me about the monsters or creatures that will be mentioned in the story which I haven't really thought much of but now I have been able to think about it more.

Week 5: Story Time10/24/2021 What Have I Done?This week I had reviewed my work and the details to make sure things are going as planned. I hope I do not continue my work then notice something is wrong then have to undo progress to fix it. After that, I began to think about my first story more and worked on it. I was able to finish the first story which was about the gods and goddesses creation. It talked about their personalities and where they were placed in the world. I was happy that I was able to finish it and feel some accomplishment. What is Next?Since I am done with this first story, I am hoping that the readers could read it and give me feedback so I could make it better if needed, which I think it does. After the fixes I plan on to start brainstorming on the new story and hat is to come next. During all this I will still be thinking about new gods and goddesses and I would love some suggestions. Hopefully I can get a lot more done and make it interesting.

Week 3: Gods and Goddesses10/8/2021 What have I accomplished this week?This week I worked on creating the names for the gods and goddesses and what they are the god of. I was able to create the main gods and goddesses and was able to start the first story. I created eight gods and goddesses in total and six main ones. My thought processWhen I was coming up i thought about where the main gods and goddesses originate from and my friend told me that i should choose a country from each continent and so I went with it. I chose Japan for Asia, Mexico for North America, Kenya for Africa, Brazil for South America, Greece for Europe, and finally Australia for, Duh, Australia. I also came up what they are the god of depending on the cultural or something that reminded me of that country. The names are from the language of their countries that have a meaning to what they are the gods of. How to show y'all my progressI have decided that I will be posting links to where my information is about the gods and goddesses and if y'all have ideas y'all can comment and tell me some ideas. My gods and goddesses are going to be listed on a google spreadsheet and the stories on a google doc, hope y'all enjoy.

Week 2: Thinking10/3/2021 What Have I Been Up To?Throughout this second week I have been thinking about what the gods names should be, what are their powers, and if these ideas and names come from real life or all just made up. I was not completely sure and had to put a lot of thought into it. Sadly I have not come up with a lot but I have came up with at least a "base" to get me going. The "base" I have came up with is where the Gods and Goddesses are from and a broad origin story for them. So far I have came up with the idea that the gods and goddesses have the mother god who told them what they were the god of and placed them around the world and their name is in the language of the place they are from. I did this to somehow connect the whole world. I had this idea the give them features from where they are in the world to incorporate the different cultures around the world. What am I Planning Now?I am now planning on getting their names and what they are the god of. I am also aiming to get into more detail with their origins and personalities. I am still planning the get so much stuff done like the family of the gods if they have any and to get stories done to make the mythology interesting and more entertaining. When I get these stories done I plan on posting them on here for people to see. Hopefully I can get this all done.
