This blog will be about a school project that I am incredibly excited for. For my project I will be re-writing all the classic Disney stories we've come to love. I will compose them into a small book. I may even write one or two original stories. I have wanted to do this for a long time. I have a great passion for writing even though I'm not a great writer. My main issue with writing is, I have trouble coming up with my own stories. I love to put my own twist on stories I already know. Ever since I was younger I have been obsessed with Disney. Especially the princesses. I own so many fairytale books with so many different versions of the same stories and I've never tired of them. I've only been more motivated to write my own versions.
When my teachers gave the outline of the project, I worried. Their outlines were;
"Do something you've always wanted but have never had the time or the guts to do. Be creative."
As I was listening writing came to mind right away. The only thing that made me stop and try to think of something else to do were the voices in the back of my mind. The voices of people telling me all my life that 'I'm not creative', 'I need to let go', and, my personal favorite, 'I'll never be able to do anything creative'. I allowed myself to listen to these people and stop myself. I went home after a long day of trying to figure out what to do and I read my favorite book, which is another take on the fairytale, Snow White. As I was reading, I decided to ignore the voices and move on. So to all the teachers and people that don't think I'm "creative enough to do anything" I'm going to prove you wrong.
