I find the Genesis story very dissatisfying. there are many plot holes and the characters are never fully fleshed out. Here is my attempt to give the characters a bit more personality. There are still many plot holes but I think it gives a better idea of what god was thinking when it all went down.

God increases productivity exponentially…. Result Questionable!

One morning well before time began god awoke and found himself bored. Wondering what the day had in store for him, as he was the only thing in existence he concluded that today would be much the same as yesterday or the day before that. Being the only thing to exist he distressed that tomorrow or the day after would also be exactly the same. To occupy himself he created light. He said “let there be light.” and there was. Anyway when light was created he had a look around, as before this he had never seen anything. He was very disappointed as this place was even more boring once illuminated. He quickly reinstated the darkness for half the time because if he had to look at the place during the times of light (which he decided to call day) he would become too depressed and perhaps contemplate suicide. The next day he awoke and again found himself bored. He sat there wondering what to do and then he decided that a bit of colour would liven up the place. So he said “let there be paint” and painted some of the vast whiteness blue. This he called sky and he promptly called dibs on it as his bedroom. After a day of painting his bed room god was rather tired and thanked his creator for the arrival of the blackness because it made it easier to sleep. That night he pondered the meaning of his existence. He thought he should create something big. All this feverish activity over the last two days had inspired him. He wondered why he had not thought of doing this in the countless eons he had already existed.

'I find the Genesis story very dissatisfying'
Many do, that is why they make up such a hideous fantasy as evolution. It takes such faith to believe in such nonsense.

Oh look. An atheist troll. How original.

Dear TC,

Good attempt - but you could have done better.
You could have made the story more interesting.
If you're going to re-write something - improve
on it. Yours is, well, how shall I put it -
a bit flat and not very imaginative.

I wrote a children's
story a few years back about a prankster spirit -
(long, long ago at the beginning of time) who could
do magical things and was one of the Great Creator's
many helpers, who had been given special powers - one of
which was the power of Creation. The problem was he
wasn't able to do as he was told... I won't say anymore -
but the kids loved the story. So I say to you -
try again. Write it again and do better this time.
Good Luck.

Already failed:

Psalms 121:4 - 'indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep".

If you stick to the Jewish version of god, then you must stick with it all the way.

It's not really possible to stick with the Jewish version all the way, though.

Compare Genesis 1:1-2:3 with Genesis 2:4-2:25. While they are similar, they reverse the order of creation and, as such, aren't entirely compatible with each other. The creation story contained in children's Bibles and taught at Sunday Schools tends to be a composite story, taking the best of each. We have the seven days of the first story, coupled with the Adam and Eve part of the second.
