I am not sure about other people in this class, but at least for me, this is my first creative project of any sort, I mean I do draw, but I have always drawn following a picture that has already been done, therefore I don’t really put in as much for the creativity component of drawing.

Interactive stories are a form of art, it is an opportunity for you to tell something you are passionate about, I really enjoyed the fact that I not only got to create a piece of writing that (For the first time in my life) I am happy with, but I also got to incorporate a lesson throughout the story. Although I did not have any issues regarding bullying as I grew up, some of my friends have told me almost “horror” stories of instances of bullying that they or even their friends experienced as they grew up. Although my particular story is fiction because of the time travel concept, these instances of bullying could definitely occur to anyone anywhere.
