I Love to Sing

This week, I wrote a modern version of Queen of the Crows. I'm stepping out of what I normally write, so feel free to let me know if I didn't characterize something or someone quite right.

As a note, in the US, there is ASL (American Sign Language), but there is also BASL (Black American Sign Language). It's likely that Kisha would have started out learning ASL and picked up BASL from Tyrese.

Maybe a deaf person can be a singer's favorite person.

Queen of the Crows

He could be a king.

Hello again, readers. This week, we'll be looking at Queen of the Crows, a story from the Caribbean. It shows the importance of forging relationships over time. And having a strong scalp. Read the story at the link above and read below to analyze it with me.

The Helpers

Hello, reader. This week, I wrote a modern fairy tale based on Hans Christian Andersen's Snow Queen. I hadn't expected to start writing about the Lapland Woman and the Finland Woman, but that's what happened. I guess I'm too old to identify with the children protagonists anymore. Enjoy!
