A letter

Today I do not write something to entertain you. Instead I am going to ask you to do something. Yesterday I wrote a letter. I did not send it, and I may never send it. What you're asking yourself right now is probably: "Why write a letter if no one is going to see it?" First of all, because I love to write. Second, I felt I should write a letter to this person, whether he/she reads it or not. I ask you to do the same. Get out a notebook (any kind will do) and a pencil. Good. Now, I would like you to write a letter. To anyone you want. A famous person, a friend you haven't seen in years or even better, someone you absolutely cannot stand. Make your letter polite and kind. Try to make it one page long, front and back. This sounds easy enough, but is it?  You may find yourself challenged. Try to add a Bible verse (DO NOT USE "CURSE GOD AND DIE"!) and / or a profound quote.

Next week's "Words on a Page writing assignment" will be writing a paragraph... but there's a little surprise....

What's in a name?

"You know, you're pretty fortunate." Mrs. Lisa Hale said to her 14 year old daughter, Gweneth. "Not every kid gets to live biking distance from their cousins. Especially cousins the same age." "I know. I'm just saying that that Calvin and Moriah get on my nerves sometimes," Gweneth replied half-apologetically. Lisa Hale sighed. "Well deal with it. Why don't you go over to Aunt Sue and Uncle Kelly's house and help with the barbecue?" Young Miss Hale nodded and walked down the creaky porch steps in her neon green flip-flops. Her long dark hair was in a pony tail, which waved in the wind. Her dark green eyes burned because of the smoke coming from people's campfires. She coughed as she rode her metallic purple bike down streets and back roads. She waved at the neighbors, Mrs. Annie Green and little Lucy Howard,watering the flowers. Gweneth smiled at one of her friends named Daniel Bradly. He ran up to her bike. She stopped. "What's up, Dan?" He panted. "What time is your aunt and uncle's barbecue? I was invited yesterday." "Four O'clock" She replied. "Okay, thanks!" Daniel ran back to his house. Gweneth got to Aunt Sue and Uncle Kelly's shortly after.

"Hey Gwen!" Gweneth rolled her eyes, she hated to be called Gwen. "What took you so long?" "You were expecting me?" Calvin, Gweneth's 15 year old cousin shook his head. "No, but I thought I'd mess with you." Moriah Watters came running out of Calvin's house. "Hi Gweneth! Guess what your name means!" "Um, Princess?" "Nope! It means 'blessed'. My name means 'God is my teacher'." Gweneth, who was rather tall, peered over Moriah's shoulder. "What does Calvin's name mean?" Moriah shrugged, hitting Gweneth's chin with her shoulder. "I don't know, this book only has girl's names. Do you know what your name means Cal?" Calvin rolled his eyes. "My name means.... bald." The two girls laughed. "Really?" "Yeah."

Book Finished!

Freya just finished part one of her two part novel. It's amazing, but unfortunately, you can't see it. I'm not sure how BtLoN is coming yet. Hopefully it is going well! That's all the news I have right now. I'm sorry there isn't more. Another day then! Farewell!

BtLoN update: Chapter 1

No, you don't get to read Chapter one quite yet. I will tell you that in chapter one....

Monica Black is hiding something, and it's driving Roxanne up the wall! We meet the eccentric librarian Miss Penelope. We also meet Aaron and Esther. Who's Benjamen? And is he really from Europe? Find out in chapter two!

Did that peak your curiosity? Probably not. I don't know much about Chapter two yet, that's Freya's chapter. She has a week to write her chapter and then I will do chapter three. Freya and I have some ideas that we're going to work on. Right now My main priority is BtLoN. Freya is just about to finish a book she's been working on for awhile. I'm hoping she puts the introduction or something on here soon [hint hint].
