    As you may have noticed, I am interested in fairy tales. As a young child, I was read the works of the Grimm Brothers and Hans Christian Anderson. My love for their work has never faded and I have continued to pursue their stories as an adult.

    I am also interested in mythology. Rick Riordan introduced me to mythology in a way that made it impossible for me to ever stop wanting to learn more. His books opened my mind to so many different mythological worlds. I am a big fan of his, so of course, I am interested in writing my own stories about mythology. I believe that I know his writing well enough to be able to derive good writing habits from it without mimicking it too much. As well, he has posted tips on writing on his website that I will certainly use. My love of mythology is not limited to Rick Riordan's work, it merely originated from it.

Introduction to A Crazy Cat Lady

(Image Information: Cat Selfie) My name is Ann Marie.  Here are some facts about me: I am 19 and currently pursuing a dual degree in Linguistics and French at OU.  I love books, and consider myself a crazy cat lady.  I am passionate about women's rights and LGBTQ rights.  I work as a server in a restaurant, and though my job is mentally taxing, it can also be fun.   (Image Information: Books , 2010) Some of my favorite authors are J.K. Rowling (duh), Jane Austen, the Bronte Sisters, Cassandra Clare, and Rick Riordan. I've been especially into Rick Riordan lately! This summer, I decided to reread the Percy Jackson series. From there I could not stop. I have since read and reread every YA book he has out, and I am also following his Rick Riordan Presents imprint series, in which he reads and edits YA mythology books by other authors, and then adds them to the Rick Riordan Presents collection, allowing new or relatively unknown au...

Week 9 Story: Alex, the Boy Who Stole Fox Power

Image
(Image Information: Fox Face,  Flickr ) (Image Information: Fox Close Up,  Maxpixel ) Hello. My name is Alex and this is my story about fox power.  It was nearly forty years ago. I was a young boy, about thirteen. My family lived out in the country in the middle of nowhere, Oklahoma. My mother had always loved animals, and she was constantly adopting them because she couldn't stand to see them hungry. We had sheep, pigs, cats, dogs, rabbits, goats...you name it, and we probably kept it as a pet. The one creature we'd never cared for was foxes. Back then, there weren't many foxes in our part of the woods.  One day I'm out feeding and watering the animals, something I don't particularly like doing but have to do anyway. The pig has gone and knocked her water bin over, so I've gotta climb the fence to her pen and turn it over for her. I'm struggling in the mud, trying to right the dang thing. It's heavy, and my feet are slipping in the mud and ...
