About "Taking Flight"

  There are many quest that I wish to accomplish for myself. Writing wise, I have always wanted to expand on my vocabulary. Over the years I have tried to push my expanse in vocabulary with different blogs but I've come to settle on handling this one. I love mythology and I know all of you out there love it as well.

  The purpose of "Taking Flight" is to bring back the world that I created in Revelation of Dragons. It takes place at a different time than Rev of Dragons but the worlds are still the same. Since, I haven't lived anywhere besides Texas I tend to gear every character starting in this state. After all, it is my home.

  This story will contain vocabulary words from the Sadlier-Oxford websites. At school, when I was in English (before I started college courses my sophomore year in high school) the vocabulary assignments geared towards the Sadlier-Oxford vocabulary.

  My goal one day is to be a teacher and I hope that I can get this set up now so I can refer to it in the future. Each post will contain about one thousand words to keep things simple and will be broken into parts as each is written and exceeds or does not exceed one thousand words.

  There will also be a pairing of each post to the set of vocabulary words I used. This way if anyone is interested in learning new vocabulary or seeing how I used the word they are welcome to easily access it. What I will do for each word is link it to it's definition based on dictionary.com. This will only be linked to the first use of the word in each chapter. If I reuse the world through a chapter it will not be underlined for clear reading purposes.

  Depending on what the vocabulary word is I shall be reusing it through the chapters. What I will try to do is use each word three times in order to give enough examples on how the word is used. Now, of course I will not be using each word in a literal sense all the time. If I wrote like that, my stories would be bland. Hopefully, this can help those who are interested in learning new vocabulary.

  In the Sadlier-Oxford vocabulary books there are different levels of vocabulary. I will be starting with Level A until I reach Level H. Level A vocabulary is meant to be for 6th graders (in America). I am unsure what grade that would be in Europe or anywhere since I know that there are different school systems around the world.

  What I've learned about my audience is that I do not actually have a higher percentage of views overall from the Americas. (Which is neat! Don't get me wrong). This is why I make it a point to try and expand language, history, and references so that I can learn about my audience as well as learn about mythology.

  This will be the third year for this blog and even though I haven't been able to keep it up constantly I am still overjoyed that I have viewers. Thank you all. And hopefully you will enjoy this story as well. My main focus for 2017 will be to complete 52 post while writing "Taking Flight" and using at least 52 units in the Sadlier-Oxford Vocabulary books.

  I am open to linking my viewers stories through my blog as well. Whether it is mythology based or not. PLEASE submit to me any writings that you would like to get out there. Because we all start somewhere. Why not start here?

Quest for 2017

  For those of you who still check this blog out since I've created it in 2014 I want to give you all a thanks. As of right now my life may be changing drastically and I cannot control a lot of what is going on around me so, since I do have a few minutes to myself for now I will be working on bringing you all a story to enjoy for what time I can.

  My goal in making this blog was geared towards researching mythology. I still love reading about it and gathering the information together. However, I've come to find how difficult it is to say steady with this and my actual life. So, this is what I am going to do.

  Since I have time now, I'll start  writing you all a story that hopefully you will like. Feedback is something I would love but I also don't check my email 24/7 so for those of you who check up on me and any updates I'm happy enough. Spread the world, show people that you like this blog and would like them to get into it as well.

  There's a lot I need to fix on this blog but for now I will do this. I won't actually post any of the story until January that way I have some time to think this all over. But feel free to email me and tell me what you'd like me to research.

  Again, for those of you who have come back after all these months. Thank you. And for those of you who happen to stumble upon this blog, feel free to browse. There's a lot to read and I tried to organize it to the best of my ability.

Hope you all enjoy,

Religion and Mythology

 A friend came up to me about Paganism and Christianity. It lead to me trying to look on the internet. I don’t like looking on the internet for anything over Christianity because as different preachers says different things, the internet can only do worse. From a personal experience I know about God and christianity. I grew up with it. But I know nothing about pagan. When I looked it brought me to the pagan mythology and the christian religion.  

 Now you can only imagine how annoying this was for me because I found the results under the pagan religion and the mythology. So right then and there, this is why I don’t like religion, because are so many options under one roof. I try to take it all in and understand where they’re coming from but in all honestly if I cannot understand it and can’t find someone else to explain it then I don’t care for it.

 Luckily, my friend stepped in and told me (this is a different friend by the way) to not compare religion and mythology because they’re not the same. I knew that. But he helped me make a definition. It’s all about perception.

 People who believed in the Greek Gods thought that ‘God’ from Christianity was a myth.

 Understanding a bit? Because what confused me was the definitions. The denotation of these words don’t change but through perception the connotations do.

 

 So when you look at those you can see that they’re connected. But religion, politics, and mythology are all connected. Other shit is too like architecture.

 I was worried about it when I ran into this and I still don’t know the difference between paganism and christianity but I’m working on that. I don’t believe I’ll do a post though because that’s like asking tell the difference between religions and truthfully. That would be harder for me to go through because then I’d want to do more than paganism but at the same time they’re all different so I hope you all agree with me when I say I’ll leave that to y’all. This is about mythology not about religion. I’m not here to teach you what to believe in. I’m here to help you understand that there are stories and meanings no matter the religion or mythology. Because to me, meanings don’t have a religion. The same as truth and knowledge. They don’t choose sides but perception does.
