Update on writing fantasy for our children
The joyful thing about fantasy is that there is no limitation on your imagination.
AND
There are no new stories, just different ways to tell them!
For
example, as enchanting as some of our Jamaican River Mumma stories are, perhaps
she could do with an update. What if she had hair extensions or Rasta
locks and a name change to Sista Tall Hair? What could happen when,
intrigued by dance hall music, she wants to come on land to dance
(sounds a bit familiar?) What other characters would you put in that
story? Would she go online to a search engine to find out how to change
to human form? Or how to dance with a fishtail? Or start her own
dancehall sessions on the reef?
What
if our Cinderella (new name) falls in love with the prince who is the
son of King Dudus? The glass slipper might be a lost cell phone instead!
– "Call to be picked up at 12 o'clock", but her credit was stolen by
the jealous sisters! ( The I-Twos!!) The ball of course would be a
dancehall session. What adventures would she have? And could she
influence change in the 'kingdom'?
There are no new stories, just different ways to tell them!
These three ebooks make an attempt at this. Check them and tell me what you think.
What if a genie washed up on a Jamaican beach in a shell instead of a bottle?
