SELF-PUBLISHED SHORT STORY
THE TOOTH AND THE CRAWLSPACE
DESCRIPTION:
Genevieve (Vivi) had been hoping for a fun weekend after a hard week at school but things take a very unexpected turn when she finds a large animal tooth on the floor in her home. What creature did it belong to and… what was that shadow?
Magic, Mystery, and a bit of Mayhem awaits just through the crawlspace.
MOTIVATION:
I found a random animal tooth in my home one day and still have no idea where it came from. I started with that oddity and ran with it!
THE LIVING FAIRY TALE
DESCRIPTION:
Cari Favole put together this collection of stories for the initial purpose of her podcast “Reading With Cari: Stories To Fall Asleep To”, a Mindfulness Podcast series designed to be used as a Sleep Aid or to ease your anxiety and relieve your stress. She then added additional stories, so this would be a unique experience! If you have chosen to purchase the audiobook, all of the stories are read by Cari Favole herself, over the course of several years. After all, it was fate that drew her to this project as “Favole” is Italian for “Fairy Tales.”
MOTIVATION:
I had been reading fairy tales on my podcast and realized it would make a wonderful audiobook! So, I made some adjustments and self-published this collection.
​
NOTE: I did write the Introduction (Retail Sample) as well as a few stories within.
CECILY THE DISTINCTIVE
DESCRIPTION:
Cecily, the Italian Greyhound puppy, loved her cuddle time with Mommy; there was always time for snuggles! But Cecily also loved her play time. Her mind would race with exciting day dreams and make-believe. Such grand, daring, high-stakes adventures! And she, the brave heroine, was champion of all! Unfortunately, her cat family didn't quite enjoy how Cecily played.
Does that mean Cecily needs to change who she is?
This short story explores the idea of staying true to who you are while being cognizant of how to communicate and collaborate with others.
MOTIVATION:
My dog, Cecily Maria Fiori Favole. This is a true story, just with some personification.
CREATIVE WRITING EXERCISE
Destăinure
DESCRIPTION:
"Destăinure" is a short creative project based off a book idea I (Cari Favole) have but will probably never actually write.
MOTIVATION:
I was invited to write a short scene to potentially be chosen and created into an animated video. I never heard an update, so I believe my scene wasn't chosen, but I was still really pleased with the copy, so I decided to release it myself!
Written, Performed, Audio mix and mastering, and video creation by Me.

Doll Story: Amber's Monologue (Forever Smiling)
CONCEPT:
Based off the idea of a Barbie doll stuck forever smiling, which was an obstacle I had to overcome while working with them at a former job as a Content Creator.
I also mixed relatable concepts and a confession from a real-life friend of mine regarding a friend of hers. I played with the concept of having someone you genuinely love outshine you in every way. Originally, I had a different Amber doll selected - she was much paler and had a toothy-smile, however I could not find a Made-to-Move Barbie to match her skin tone, so I had to compromise. With the one-angle camera (to keep the vlog realism), it was very important that the doll be able to move more fluidly.

Written, Performed, Filmed, and Edited by Me.
AUTO MASTERING EXERCISE
Clipped Tails and the City - Volume 1
DESCRIPTION:
What a modern-day fairy tale might look like.
MOTIVATION:
A prospective client wanted to hear a creative audio sample that included multiple voices with additional sound effects. The idea was to be comical while also giving a serious vocal performance.
