digital storytellong

I think I finally got something. It was so much more difficult than I thought it would be. I have read the instructions over and over again, starred at the story boards, visited CDS (http://www.storycenter.org/resources.html) and watched many other people's stories there (which finally got me depressed so I stopped. I have to add here that in spite of not seeing any humorous stories there, I recommend visiting this web site and watch some stories since they are performed so beautifully. "In my shoes" was my favorite). I looked at all the picture albums I have at home; thought of pictures I do not have with me here. I thought of events in my life. Nothing seemed to be interesting enough for other people to hear.
I think my story would be about a hot topic at our home those days. I realized that if it interests me - I may be able to make it interesting for my audience.

This is the hardest thing about telling a digital story - believing that we, as individuals, have interesting stories to tell! You do! You might have a family tradition, personal experience that might be interesting to tell. I do agree with you --- digital stories can be humorous --- they don't have to be sad. We shared examples of both in class. Once you get that idea - it will become easier! Trust me!
