Word Vomit Challenge Choice of the Month

Every month, you'll have the opportunity to check out some of the word vomit challenges we offer on Storyteller Planet. Sometimes they're only digital, sometimes they're only printed, sometimes they're both! Every month is something new!
This month, Unleash Your Imagination is available as a FREE 7-day digital course!

Every month from now till October, a new Homework Help video will be uploaded on the 15th. This month has spoilers of the musical EPIC (again), as it's the core example of the presentation.
Homework Help Topic of the Month: Character Arcs and Story Arcs: The Twins of Storytelling.
Quick Tales Tip: May is a great time to express gratitude to those who have helped us blossom. Reach out to someone you love and thank them for helping you through the good and the bad. You never know how much a little random gratitude could mean to someone.

Mini Course Alert!

Storytelling Made Easy
Welcome to a mini-course dedicated to getting to the heart of your story. Whether it is a powerful speech for a presentation or a full-blown universe, the fundamentals are necessary to impact your audience.
In this 12-step mini-course, you will be provided with practical concepts and techniques to take your story from an idea to a finished product. Learn how to apply these concepts to works of fiction and non-fiction.
While this course does focus the second half of its curriculum on aspects of full-length works of fiction, this is still a valuable tool to learn how to capture an audience with your words and invite them into your world. Spice up your emails or create a whole universe! Either way, Welcome to the Basics of Storytelling!

Hi. Tidbit here!
Okay, so, remember how last month we were reading the myth about Chloris, the nyphm-turned-goddess of spring? Well, last month, I got to sit down with Chloris and a few other goddesses of myth from Earth during Green Week! Check out our Instagram page to catch up on all the interviews and a few other adventures that Tales and I have been on since last month!
Alright, time to reveal a new myth to check out and spice up your writing pallet. While I have reference books on each myth, I encourage you to take to the internet and see how much information you can find!
This month, we journey to the lands of the Celtic and look at the sun-god, Belenus, and his mythical origins. Belenus is also known for fire, prophecy, and healing. The name Belenus is thought to come from the Celtic root bel, which means "bright" or "shining. While he isn't a sun god in the traditional sense, he is one of the most important Celtic deities of myth and is often compared to Apollo.
This myth is found in our trusty reference book "Mythology: The Illustrated Anthology of World Myth and Storytelling", on pages 258-259. I encourage you to pick up a copy and explore all that world mythology has to offer!
