Month: November, Day: 16th, Year: 2008

Today was November 16th, 2008. Third Sunday of the month. I don't really have anything to say about today. I could talk about music, movies that are coming out, clothes, or anything else, but just not events that happened today.
Oh yeah, I remember now, my friend's younger sister is trying to write a story about me, and she's changing almost everything about me!! For one thing, she changed my age to sixteen. I'm fifteen. How is she going to be able to write about people in high school, when she's only in sixth grade?? But, I've read part of it, and I guess it's pretty good for a sixth grader. I hope she doesn't get mad that I'm telling everyone about her story. According to my friend/anonymous, it's improving, because she's learning about the seven writing traits, and other things.
--------------------
One writing trait that she has learned about-Word Choice:
+Use rich and colorful words to get the reader's attention.
+Help the reader see, hear, feel, taste and smell what you are writing about.
+Avoid repeating words and phrases.
KEY QUESTION: Do your words that you used create vivid pictures and linger in your mind?
--------------------
She's practically giving me grammar lessons! Luckily, her 'lessons' aren't boring like some boring teachers. Jk. Teachers do their jobs and teach what we need to learn. Though, I'm not very sure if I want to go to school tomorrow. I hope I didn't have any homework that I needed to do...
