Hello there. 

So it might be helpful for some to see some of what I have found over the last few weeks.

I have been looking at Lithuanian myths of late, and I found a book that split stories collected into the main characters. So there were the Baltic version of fairies, giants, demons, tricksters, elementals etc. 

And each section there would be 25 stories from people. 

Some of these stories were three pages long about someone doing a menial task and a fairy coming and helping them or cursing them with it. Or a Giant would walk from one place to another creating a mountain or a lake with its tears and feet. Or they were morally based. "Do good things for your friends" would be a man who goes to a market to buy a good luck demon, and his friend asks him to buy one for him too. But instead, the first friend keeps the money and gives the second friend a fake good luck demon who ends up being the real good luck demon. Etc etc. 

So if it helps in this process, pick a mythological beast that you make up or mutate and tell a story about them. 

Or take a geological feature and explain how it came to be. 

Or take a life lesson or principle and use a mythological character to tell that lesson. 

I am very excited for what we will all create.
