Task 5

Online writing. Not sure how I'm gonna use this.

-Tried the Fairy Tale one, and wrote a sentence for the princess's name. A sentence including the meaning of her name. - Oh yeah, and I named the King "King ___" so every time the story mentioned the king, it was "king King ____. " Guess you'd have to go thru the whole thing and discover all the glitches or twists and turns. Pretty prescriptive - not enough options.

-Loved the notion of the Bayeux Tapestry one, both for medieval exploration and the art, but struggled to get it to work. It's pretty cool. Sent this to my daughter (ready to enter grad school) who loves medieval art and she enjoyed building a story with it.
-The Story Creator is pretty cool - reminds me of the "escape the room" games my kids love.
-The Digital Story Kit looked interesting - a building of a video story.
and so on.

Most of these sites look good, but artistically they fall short for me. I wonder if there's a way to scan your own characters in and then build a story. The format of the Make Belief Comix is straightforward and simple to use - makes the story easier to share when building the illustrations are quick to master. Maybe after one or two uses it would become too simple?

So here's my simple comix. Already wanted more emotions than it gave me. Frustrating!
