Here is my shorthand story. It changed a lot from my storyboard, but I think for the better. I changed out the flowers for metal I saw in a new part of the trail when I went this last weekend. I think it was a good change as it is way more representative and makes sense for the story I was going with. After I made that decision, the little details of the story came a lot clearer to me. I’m a lot happier with the direction I went with now.
I took Jolines’ advice from the feedback, as well as Joe Hill’s story. I liked the supernatural elements and wanted to include some in mine while still keeping it grounded in the reality of what I was going for. It really shaped my story for the outcome and subtle twist of mood. I’m happy with what it represents and the writing in it, so I would definitely improve upon this more if given the chance and expand some sections.
