Updates!

For those of you who have actually been reading this from the beginning, thank you!  For the newbies, welcome!  Let me explain a few things:

1) Almost everything on this blog is at least partially fictional.  So take everything with a grain of salt, as my mom says.  One of my good friends texted me after reading "Work" and "Camp" that the first few sentences of each had him extremely confused.  Sorry, Ben!  Since then, I have tried to tag all of my posts appropriately so that nobody else will mistake a short fictional story about a young girl during the Holocaust for a lighthearted blog entry about my real experience at a summer camp.

2) I don't really have any particular time frame for when I'll post new stuff.  Rest assured, I am always working on something, whether you see it right away or not.  Any comments or suggestions regarding how often you'd like to see something new from me would be greatly appreciated!

3) Consider yourself lucky, because this is the first time I've ever let anyone but an English teacher or classmate read any of my literary work.  Please keep that in mind, be kind, rewind, etc..

I guess that's that.  A hundred thanks to my avid readers ;]

"February 4, 2011"

I feel like

I was just on

another planet. 

The suburban streets of

my Texas town,

covered in snow look

completely different

 than normal.

 This early in the morning,

when there are no cars

on the road

and you

and your best friend

are the only ones

outside,

the only ones awake…

that’s magical. 

I truly hope

everyone

has a chance

to experience

what I have just experienced. 

The beautiful things

that God

has created

for us

often go unnoticed,

BUT

not by me,

at least not

today. 

I noticed,

and

I am thankful. 

I feel loved.
