Portfolio Index

For my project I decided to go with the portfolio option. I am a firm believer in the fact there is always room to grow as a writer. Revisions, edits, and shaping old ideas is not to say that your original idea was bad, but there is molding to be done. In the same way that we as human beings always have room to grow into better versions of ourselves, our stories have the same potential.

This is my reasoning behind revitalizing my old stories to create new and better versions. Happy reading!

Jesus and The Leper
This story hones in on one episode found in the Gospel of Mark. It is a speech told from the point of view of a leper, whom Jesus healed. This story is an inside look into Biblical times and the accounts of Jesus.

Story of the Broken Pot
This is the story inspired by an old Indian folktale told from the point of view of a grain of rice. It is a short story that expresses the importance of loving where you're at and the people and things are around you. Don't take the little guys for granted.

Sue Ellen's Sneezes
Take a walk in Sue Ellen's shoes and see her day week from bad to worse based on an old rhyme her dear ole grandmother used to say. This story is set in the heart of New York City and is centered around a nursery rhyme in Andrew Lang's storybook.

Tricky Students and Wise Professors
Throughout college there are lessons to be learned even when you least expect them. Follow along with young trickster Flora and old professor Smith in this short story to see if Flora can get away with her cheating ways on her first college exam.

  1. The Jesus and the Leper felt like a light, and as you said in your author’s note, motivational story. Although the story felt short, you did a great job in adding details and imagery of the leper’s experience. The sadness in the beginning went well with the gratitude that the leper felt later on. I can totally understand why the leper was so glad and happy that he was cured by Jesus.

    In the Broken Pot, you did a good job in writing from the perspective of the grain of rice. I liked how you went in detail of what the owner would get if he sold the rice. I wonder how the narrator got from the rice pot to the rice bowl or vice versa. He begins talking about being in a rice bowl. Then, he talks about being in a rice pot later.

    After reading both of your stories, I can tell that they have a message to tell readers. You did a great job in your stories so far. I look forward to reading your other stories.

  2. To the casual fan, it might not sound a particularly significant development. On Wednesday, at their rather stuffy monthly meeting, the Nevada State Athletic Commission granted both Conor McGregor vs Floyd Mayweather an exemption to fight in 8oz – rather than 10oz – boxing gloves.
