Create Something!

       Playing with play dough is one of the things I like to do when I feel creative. It's a feeling that is hard to explain. You want to make something that has never been made before. You want to create something that will make other people curious, and want to make something new of their own. I love to make up fantasy worlds with my own fantasy creatures, with my own take on fantasy. If I'm a writer when I grow up, I would write something that has never been written before. I would create a world that makes my readers want to create their own world, just as my favorite authors make me feel, even if it is for me to make something, rather than to write something. Like a purple-perler-bead tiger. If I wrote a book, my characters would be adventurous and fearless. They may have part unicorn, part dragon animals for a pet, like the one I made. They may even have a tea party with delicate green teacups. So whatever it is that you like to do, be creative with it and inspire others.

Taken From: The Girl Who Fell Beneath Fairyland and Led the Revels There -by Catherine M Valente

"Not so long ago her mother read out loud to her from some book or other concerning fairies or soldiers or pioneers, but now they read companionably, each to their own novels or newspapers, quite as September remember their her mother doing with her father, before the war.Sundays were the best days, when the sunlight seemed to last forever, and September would bloom under her mother's big, frank smile. On Sundays, she didn't hurt. She didn't miss a place she couldn't explain to a grown-up person. She didn't wish her small dinner with its meager ration of tinnier beef were a fey feast of candy and roasted hearts and purple melons full of rainwater wine. On Sundays, she almost didn't think about Fairyland at all. Sometimes she considered telling her mother about everything that had happened. Sometimes she burned to do it. But something older and wiser within her said, Some things are for hiding and for keeping...."

You can be friends with anyone: your pet, your mother, your book, the girl in your class who has the exact opposite personality, even if it may be tough to get along with them because they may not understand you like they think they do. Your friend can distract you from your hurts, even if they can't fix them, or even know what they are. And it can be hard to keep a secret from them, but some things are for hiding and for keeping. Even if you have to keep a secret, your friend is someone who enjoys being with you anyways. You may have to keep a secret from your friend for a good reason, like a surprise party or something they just shouldn't know because it's for the better. So if you have a friend like this you are very lucky. You and your friend don't have to be alike, you can just like to talk to each other and play with each other.

 

Don't Be Grumpish! We Can Save Obsolete Words!

Loosing a word from a dictionary can be sad. You loose a word when people stop caring about using good, strong words. I've seen lists of obsolete words and most of them are really good, colorful words that are really fun to say. I'm going to write a story with my favorite obsolete words.

My sister and I were twattling about playing in the sparkling white snow. Quickly my younger sister began harrying us that it was much too cold to play out in freezing -5 degree snow. 

"Don't worry, there's an apricity," I pointed out. 

"Which is lovely, but I must say I am too gorgonized  by your elflock to notice," cut in my younger sister. 

"You better talk quieter because we don't want our brabble to reach mom and dad," I whispered. 

"Let's not fight until twitter-light... we can end this now," exclaimed my other sister. 

"Yeah, I'm sorry I said you have an elflock. I love you." said my younger sister. 

"I love you too." I said.

"We're all monsterful," finished my other sister.

You can look-up the meaning of these obsolete words, and maybe you'll find a couple obsolete words that you like or think are funny.
