I'm participating in Folktale Week this year, but at my own pace. My day job as a college theatrical costume instructor comes first, and we had a production go up this week so I was busy. Instead of looking at it like a negative (which is what I usually do) I did the requisite mental gymnastics to invert the situation to an opportunity instead, and decided to embrace "The Slow". I'm a big fan of Lee White's "Slowvember" concept, so I'm stretching things out and using the inspirational guides from Deb Stein's StoryCamp Disco and the prompt words when and how I want to use them. So far I've re-conceptualized my adaptation of the Little Red Riding Hood tale, done a ton of really interesting research that is influencing my story development, and even done a couple inspirational illustrations.
Here's the one for "Lost".
