I love the โcaptainโs logโ mechanism in Star Trek as a method for time skips and exposition.
I am, however, devastated that we never got an episode where any captainโs voiceover is strained and slow. very precise about the events theyโre describing. While the screen itself is showing the most batshit insane events and making it clear that the captain is trying VERY HARD to keep everyone involved out of a court martial.

I feel like something that we don't talk about enough with learning a new skill, is that once you become very good at the foundations, you can skip through them much faster to working on higher level stuff. Not because you did less work at them, but because the work you did was more meaningful and you know what needs to happen and what is just useful extra structure at the base.
When it comes to writing, I still have to work through some kind of outline to know where I'm going. The longer I write, the looser the outline has to be, because I'm familiar with where the bones of the story are supposed to be. A lot of the writers who made their entire career out of piles of books set in the same worlds (such as Ann Rice) stopped outlining all together once they were established. They didn't even want to know where the story would go, because they could feel it and know whether it worked or not using the instinct and skill that they already had.
When I'm teaching someone else how to train a dog scent articles, we start with imprinting handler scent and teaching retrieves separately. And there are dogs that I absolutely will still do that for. Valkyrie had both separate for months before I ever put them together into the same picture. But I can look at Fiver in his training journey, and know that the bones are already there for him to figure out how to scent what I'm looking for on a retrieve. So without ever doing the imprinting stage, we went straight from retrieves on flat to hidden or out of sight retrieves, which will then become scent articles. It isn't that imprinting is unnecessary. On the contrary, if you handed me puppy Valkyrie again, I would teach her articles exactly the same. Not to mention that most cases of article training gone wrong I've seen were a case of skipping imprinting. But I've done handler discrimination enough to recognize when imprinting is a necessary step, or just a useful game to strengthen what the dog already naturally understands the game to be.
All this to say, learning a new skill can be intimidating because when you start you do need to learn every step. It takes time and can feel like a slog. Watching others who've been doing it forever can make you feel less competent then you're actually becoming, because part of building skill is learning the rules so that you can break them successfully.
ohh my god but what if there is still time. what if there is still time. hey. there is still time? there is still time. have you heard. there is still time. hi. there is still time. did you know. there is still time.

Gwyn still tries to bury toys she's actively holding in her mouth (but only in blankets, doesnโt try to bury otherwise). In this video you can see why it happens, because the ball is glow-in-the-dark! My darling short-attention-spaniel puts the ball down to bury it; she starts burying it; she turns around, sees it, and grabs it back up; she continues burying "it" (nothing).
Sounds: Tristan's Fetch and Tug Buddy playing with Tristan 9ut of sight, says "Oh, so good!" Gwyn makes an excited little gurgle and then lots of excited little blowing noises.
My stance is that before you embark upon writing your own mythology retelling, you should actually read the source literature you're basing your retelling on as opposed to simply relying on other retellings.
And this is NOT gatekeeping. Not when Iโve got all the material at @arthurianpreservationproject at least for Arthurian Legend. Many translations of Greek myth are available on the Internet Archive as well.
Everyone has bias so basing your stuff on retellings is not only taking someone elseโs interpretation at face value, itโs in poor taste. Read the myths and form your own opinions and ideas. Wikipedia and blog posts are not sufficient if you intend to adapt for yourself.
To add to this, not only is this not gatekeeping, this is pushing the gate wide open. This is telling artists to go explore and frolic in the pastures and ancient woods beyond the fences.
As ever, I'd like to direct people to this quote by Michael Moorcock:
To this day I advise people who want to write fantastic fiction for a living to stop reading generic fantasy and to go back to the roots of the genre as deeply as possible, the way anyone might who takes his craft seriously. One avoids becoming a Tolkien clone precisely by returning to the same roots that inspired The Lord of the Rings.
The same applies to retellings (and adaptations, for that matter, since one user brought it up in the tags). For example, you are less likely to write a TH White clone if you go and read Malory for yourself, or for that matter go further back to Malory's own sources such as the Vulgate Cycle. Another example, you are less likely to become a Madeline Miller clone by reading Homer's Iliad and Odyssey for yourself.
And for heaven's sake, don't do what I did as well for years which was rely on summaries and articles. Try and go as in depth as you can, and face the work on its own terms (but don't be intimidated by its age, either).
Because as Ragnelle said above, by approaching these works by yourself, you will likely come to your own conclusions and not just parrot someone else's. Ideally as well, you will be less likely to end up parroting tired and terrible tropes (particularly racist and misogynist tropes) that have their origins in other people's retellings, as well as flanderisations of the characters and misinterpretations and generalisations of the stories themselves brought about by pop culture.

Excuse the terrible-quality phone cam snap, but River would like everyone to know that's he's criminally adorable and has never done anything wrong in his entire life.
