Almost forgot

Oh, and something else I'm very proud of...

I got my three summaries of Lewis' "The Abolition Of Man" back the other day. Each was worth 20 points, and I got 18 on all three. I forgot to indent (I'm bad about that!) and there were some minor things, but Dr. Head wrote on two of them "Excellent" and on the third "Wow," as well as the comment "This is superb work!" I'm still grinning about it, as you can guess because I wrote it here. Of course, my "grammar" is atrocious; I never learned parts of grammar, or things like passive versus active voice. I'm worried about our test over that next week. But my writing is, apparently, superb. I know I'm not always the most humble, but when it comes to writing, I don't feel like I should be. I am a GOOD writer. I'm not great (heck no, I'm definitely no J.K. Rowling), but I can make my point elegantly and occasionally concisely. I really want to get into writing as a freelancer. I just need something to write about first.

Oh well. I'm keeping a very detailed journal when I move to Kentucky. Then I'm going to turn it into a book (where do you think the title "Confessions of an Aspiring Equestrian" came from?). And I've got my novel I'd like to write, if I can ever bother to research it. And my fanfiction. I've got a story I'm working on that's turned out to be fairly popular. It's definitely going to be the longest story I ever wrote, I'm through with chapter 6 and I can see another ten to fifteen in the future! I would like to earn some money though, and I would like to maybe win some prizes. When I was ten years old, the American Girls club that Barnes and Noble held had a story contest, and I won third prize. I think that's what really cause the writing bug to bite me, because I've wanted to write ever since.

And obviously, I'm quite bad about writing, when I should be doing things like, oh, I don't know, SLEEPING maybe. Especially when I'm so tired it took me three tries to spell "American."

Bleh...I'm going to bed.
