The story I liked most out of all the reading is the fairy
frog. Of course, the final of all the stories. It takes 10 to find one I want
to rewrite. I believe could make this story a little better for my own writings.
The first thing I would attempt with the story is it starts out with a typical “once”
start and jump right into the story. I would start the story a better place
setting. It doesn’t really describe when or where it is taking place. I would also
want to change the animal in the story to something more mythical like a
jackalope or something sinister such as a snake. This would peak my interest because
jackalopes aren’t real and snakes are sinister, so to follow a snake and be
rewarded would be interesting. I would also include another character such as a
child of the husband and wife to add to the feeling in the story. To add the
feeling the child would be suffering along side the two to create more of a
feel for the characters. I could also create a greater twist by using the child
as a sacrifice half way through and the parent be rewarded at the end with the
child to create a happy ending. These are my notes and what I think I will do with
my story later this week.
