Guest speakers at school and camps continuously shared the same message: take every opportunity to travel. This advice led me to travel to China and Scotland while in high school. Pre-pandemic, I spent the semester in Switzerland and traveled extensively around Europe until it ended abruptly. I am easily convinced to take an adventure, whether traveling, eating, or learning about new cultures.
Before the neighbors put rocks in their backyard, the steep hill was perfect for snow days, when every kid was sledding together. There were races, bets, a little friendly competition, and I was just excited to be involved as one of the youngest. A challenge was who could get closes to the creek, which divided properties. I do not blame them for giving me a string sled; I did not know how to work since I won the challenge by falling into the frozen creek. They had never said that it would disqualify someone. My older brother took me home soaking wet but did not wait for our mother to open the door before sledding again. I want to preserve the idea that fun is in your backyard with other people rather than on a screen.
My recent personal projects have focused on family since I have been home with them during the pandemic. I wish to examine my relationships with them when creating characters for films or tv shows. My plans involve selling a project that gives an audience another perspective, plus getting my name credited would not hurt.
I have sat for twenty minutes dreaming of the perfect narrative to answer this question. Here’s what I did while I tried to find the words: listened to Lo-Fi studying beats, your podcast, and even danced around my room to get the creative juices flowing. For me, the importance is to represent yourself as the sole person in the position to the story. It’s frustrating trying to communicate your perspective on the world because sometimes people do not always like or agree with it. The goal is to get one person to listen, to share the story with someone else. Sound helps carry emotion. Hollywood has recognized that podcast is another medium to share a story. By collaborating with The Creative Process, I get to understand and develop podcast skills by telling engaging stories.
