After taking Mythology and Folklore last Fall semester, I was immediately intrigued when I saw another class, Indian epics, was offered in a similar format. The experience of blogging and exploring readings on my time was something that I did not realize I would enjoy so much and thus Indian Epics seemed like the perfect course for me to have a similar experience. The assignments seem to pretty much be the same as it did for Mythology and Folklore, and I am interested to see how the new extras credit Check-in and connect works this semester. With this pandemic, I think we all will find a place where we can share things we are passionate about and communicate will be useful and relaxing. Additionally, I think the micro fiction extra credit will be neat to write short and quick stories that grab my interest. Due to my previous experience taking the class I feel prepared for what is expected, and I am excited to soon delve into the readings!
I am excited about the microfiction too, Neal! Last semester was the first time I included that and SO MANY people experimented with that. Meanwhile, over the summer, I wrote hundreds and hundreds of little stories. It was my pandemic distraction! And I learned how to use Pressbooks to publish my own books, so I hope we can maybe publish a book of 100-word stories together as a class. That seems like it would be really cool! You can tell me what you think as that option takes shape. Here are my books from this summer: 100Words.LauraGibbs.net
