Imagination Writing – NEW LOOK

Leave a comment

Fostering Imagination Through Character Development and Settings

Creative writing plays a crucial role in a child’s literacy development. By engaging students in crafting stories, we nurture their imagination, communication skills, and cognitive abilities.

When a student has grasped the basics of beginning, middle and end, but has an issue with word count, then we must take an in-depth look at character development and setting.

Why Character Development?

  • Characters are the heart of any story. When students create characters, they invest emotionally in their narratives.
  • Developing characters allows students to explore empathy, motivation, and conflict. They learn to walk in someone else’s shoes, fostering understanding and compassion.
  • Characters with well-defined traits, backgrounds, and desires add depth to stories.
  • Teaching students to create multifaceted characters encourages them to think beyond stereotypes and embrace nuance.

Characters drive the plot. Their desires, fears, and choices propel the story forward, so if you wish to go from 100 words to 1000 words, it’s all about understanding your character and how they will react in any given situation. By understanding character motivations, students learn to construct compelling conflicts and resolutions.

Settings as Story Elements:

Settings provide context and atmosphere. Whether it’s a bustling city, a haunted house, or a magical forest, settings influence characters and events. Teaching students to vividly describe settings enhances their storytelling abilities, and when they have spent time developing their character, they can anticipate how that character will react to each setting.

But most importantly, through characters, students express their own experiences, dreams, and fears while writing about settings allows them to explore their sense of place and identity.

    “Imagination Writing’ teaches creative writing with a focus on character development and settings, and includes a number of case studies examining movies, games and tv shows that break apart the plot and show how the character and setting drives the story.

    This book seeks to nurtures and empower students to express themselves, think critically, and appreciate the art of storytelling.

    Introducing “Rise of the Faecons”: A Diverse Fantasy Fiction Series

    Leave a comment

    I am excited to announce the launch of a new fantasy fiction series, “Rise of the Faecons”, just in time for Black History Month. This series, written by Martini Blu, follows the story of a Lycan alpha and a fairy princess as they navigate their marriage and rule over their kingdom. What sets this series apart is its diverse cast of characters, representing different races, cultures, and backgrounds.

    “Rise of the Faecons” is a captivating tale of love, power, and unity. The story is set in a magical world where Lycans and fairies coexist, but tensions between the two species run high as the Blue Moon ceremony approaches. When the Lycan alpha Arn, agrees to marry the fairy princess, Lunah, their marriage not only completes a treaty, but sparks hope for true love.  However, their love is tested as they face opposition from both sides and must fight to protect their kingdom.

    What makes this series truly special is its representation of diversity. In a genre that often lacks diversity, “Rise of the Faecons” breaks the mold by featuring characters of different races, ethnicities, and backgrounds. This not only adds depth to the story but also celebrates the diversity within the Black community. As we celebrate Black History Month, this series serves as a reminder of the importance of inclusivity and representation in literature.

    “Rise of the Faecons” is a must-read for fantasy lovers and those looking for a diverse and inclusive story. The first book in the series, “The Lycan’s Fairy Mate” is available on Amazon, the second book Alpha-in-training will be available by the 4th of February and the third book, Blood Alpha will be available on the 11th of February.

    Both the second and third books can be pre-ordered before release.

    Join us in celebrating Black History Month by diving into this enchanting world of Lycans, fairies, and love. For more information, visit the author’s website at https://aajumbeepublishinghouse.com/ and follow us on social media for updates and sneak peeks into the series.

    We hope “Rise of the Faecons” will not only entertain readers but also inspire them to embrace diversity and unity. This series is a testament to the power of storytelling and its ability to bring people together. We look forward to sharing this journey with you and invite you to join us in celebrating the launch of “Rise of the Faecons”.

    New ‘Caribbean’ Photo Service

    1 Comment

    For a long while, I just couldn’t find the right ‘ethnic’ pictures for my book covers. As an illustrator I have the option to create, but sometimes you just want a photograph, especially if you’re in a contemporary genre. Doing a photoshoot is expensive when you may not know what you want but have to create until you find it, so yes, my options were few.

    Then ai, came out.

    And ‘shut the front door!’ all of a sudden, I’m using my words and creative savvy to generate characters that would have taken me weeks of research and time. And I was blown away, so today, I share it with you!

    Ai generated picture are low-res but can be very specific to your needs. Check out the new photo-hub below and contact us if you need a photo that reflects your Caribbean Novel.

    New photo folders will be added and updated every month.

    These stories and beliefs have been passed down through generations and are an integral part of the Caribbean identity. I encourage all Caribbean writers to delve into the world of Caribbean folklore and draw inspiration from it. Read up on the different characters and stories that make up this rich tapestry of culture. You can also purchase books on Caribbean folklore to gain a deeper understanding of the subject.

    In addition, I would like to introduce you to a new digital magazine called The Caribbean Pen. This magazine is dedicated to showcasing the best of Caribbean literature and culture.

    For the love of Caribbean Folklore written by the Caribbean pen, Author Marsha Gomes-Mckie #CaribbeanFolklore #thefolklorelady

    MarshaGomesMckie's avatarAuthor, Marsha Gomes-Mckie

    There are many unique characters in Caribbean mythology. Caribbean Folklore is wonderful and distinctive and has been around for as long as the islands themselves.

    Do you recognize any of these? Thinking about a few of them kept me up at nights and telling stories of a few others kept my siblings up at night. I have always loved folklore, searching every elder’s face for evidence of a Soucouyant possession, wishing to see Papa Bois, wishing not to see Douens or the Phantom emerging from behind a ‘lamp-poll’.

    And the call of the drums, growing up you would hear drums all the time, random incantations that would stop you in your tracks, today I can’t remember the last time i heard a random drum call.
