The FWW

Aha! Today was one of those days when my creative juices were flowing very nicely so you can guess what that means:

I FINALLY THOUGHT OF SOMETHING TO POST!

It is about something important.

To me, anyways.

Anyways, it's about something that I creatively devised: FAMOUS WRITER WATCH!!!!!

So, the FWW is big. It's huge! Well, not really. But really, it's all up to you. Want to find out how?

Well, it started like this. My good ol' cowpoke Tessa wrote on her blog that the Phantom Stallion books were some of the books she had read. Well, can you guess what happened next?

THE AUTHOR WROTE TO HER!

Of course, it made me insanely jealous and my close buddy a.k.a. sister Casey and I spent our time one night looking online for an author to write to.

The results were amazing!

We found nothing.

Let's go on to a happier part . . .

Well, the author of our favorite books, The Penderwicks and The Penderwicks on Gardam Street, whose name is Jeanne Birdsall, was our main target.

Yup, Jeanne Birdsall was a tough find, but of course we found her.

But not any way to contact her.

On the mad writers hunt, we found nothing.

So, if you're a famous author reading this, (this is the happier part),

then feel free to comment on my blog!

Your efforts will be appreciated.

Crazy post!!!

Tessa, this post is for you. I hope you know that. Okay, I'll think of something to write . . .

AHA!

HAP

PY FALL!

AGH! IT'S JANE!

If you've done Secret of the Old Clock Nancy Drew game, which I KNOW you have, Tessa, since we got it from you,

you should know who I'm talking about.

This is sort of a nonsense post. You know, I get those occasional threats to update my blog, so I have!

In a very boring way.

But yet, it's very fallish. OOOH!

I KNOW WHAT TO WRITE ABOUT!

MY BIRTHDAY!

ON SEPTEMBER 29th!

ACK! ELEVEN IS OLD!

Yet, Casey is turning the big one three. WHOAH!

So, as I sit here, I am constantly searching my brain fo

r some things to write. I know!

IT'S A CHINESE (or Japanese)

WEBKINZ AD!

I don't know. I'm becoming more and more random at the minute, so I'm going to stop.

SEE YA!
