MadWords Now

Truly.  This is, I believe, the first time since I have been at Hayes that the school was closed for a non-weather reason.

Hm.

So, what shall I do with my “free” day?

Well,

I could:

• rake the yard (I love Fall!)
• get rid of paper piles inside the house (Supremely boring, but necessary.)
• create a flower on the Black-Eyed Peas site, Plant and Inspire web site.
• buy a new, larger litter box for our kitties, Sam and Zoey (VERY necessary)
• go on a bike ride (I LIKE this idea!)
• get an iced mocha at B’s (This will happen.)
• stay online and read blogs (intriguing, but I cannot stay inside on a day like today!)

I

am

getting

offline, and

motivating!!!!

What are you going to do today?

So, your short story is in the writing stage (remember, People Wear Really Exciting Pants), and you are working on your Ed Raises Cows From Rwanda (the five parts of a plot, namely: exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, resolution).

You already know that the due date for your first, typed draft is this Friday, May 9, and now you are drained from all of that imagination-mania!

Bearing that in mind, I have a few links for web sites that I discovered on another sixth grade blog, The Electronic Pencil, that you may find interesting–even fun! Check some out, let me know what you experience there.
