Venting about Benchmark

So I am not too fond of the benchmark for this quarter in Storytelling. Mainly because trying to reenact it through social media does not do my story justice. With the way things are going, it is not being represented the way I want it to. It just doesn't feel real enough, and it makes the story sound bad. I really wish that we didn't write the stories before, because the expectations are set to high. I wish that like @MayaEmanuel we would have been able to make a story as we went along. I don't know, though. I kind of wish I could start over and write a different story because I feel as though this is really going to affect my grade negatively.
