I'm still having a hard time settling on a theme for the A to Z #Blogging Challenge. So far I've started:
- Constellation myths (love it, but narratives are hard to find & not sure I can cover all letters)
- Folktales of emotions (Covers all letters, but hard to define)
- 26 days of #StorySpotting (needs 26 TV shows & movies)
- Folktales & songs (made a song list last year but nervous I'd misinterpret them)
- Tales of environmental disasters (tons of research)
Votes & thoughts welcome 😅
New #StorySpotting article on my blog! Delving into all the references to the myth of Sedna in the latest season of True Detective.

By the way, I blogged about the Myanmar legend about the origin of rubies here:

This is also the origin story of the (in)famous Mogok ruby mines. It features a Naga princess who falls in love with the Sun, and three magic eggs, one of which bursts in Mogok and fills the land with rubies.

My first #StorySpotting article in a while!
In this series on my blog I write about folklore references that I caught in movies, TV shows, comics, etc.
This time, I spotted a fascinating creature from Dominican folklore in the procedural series "9-1-1":
