Cook a Cycle-of-Time Myth
📋 What it is
Mesoamerican myths often see time as CYCLES of worlds that rise and end, with maize and renewal at the centre.
🗣️ Coach says
Think in ages. Your myth can be about a world ending so a better one can grow, like a seed.
🧠 Memory hook
Say it: endings are seeds for beginnings.
