Since the beginning of time, humans have shared stories to explain the world around them.
What makes the sun rise? Why are there four seasons in the year? What happens to us after we die? These stories formed the basis for religions and folklore for every civilization in the history of time. And aside from being an interesting look at how ancient humans viewed the world, they provide us, as writers, with some amazing source material to pull from when crafting stories of our own.
Whether your interest lies in mythology, be it Greek, Norse, or Chinese, folklore, such as Paul Bunyan and Robin Hood, or fairy tales, like Sleeping Beauty and Rapunzel, taking these stories and creating something unique for today’s audience of readers can be clever, rewarding, and fun. And best of all, you will never run out of source material.
In this class, we’ll look not only at inspired ideas but at how to take those ideas and come up with something original. We’ll challenge the stereotypes. We’ll twist any fact that comes our way. And we will question everything. Bring ideas you already have or come looking to be inspired. And most of all, come prepared to look beyond the cliché and chisel out those unique stories that will stay with readers for years to come.
