Chapter 9: How I found a pot of Gold
“Oh puh-leeeze don’t do another history lessonnnnnnnn!” I groaned. “But I have a new book on it, and it has even more amazing facts!!!” Gale complained hilariously. I didn’t want a history lesson, but I also didn’t want to hurt Gale’s feelings. I weighed my two options, and then I realized that Gale was going…

Chapter 8: Naming the cubs!!!!!
The mother lion did want me to name her and her cubs! First, I got to know each one, to find out what name would suit them. The shy one who had stayed in the cave for a while, the really beautiful one, I thought the name Taylor would suit her best. Once Taylor came…

Chapter 7: The Feastings and Festivities begin!
I offered to cook the fish and catch more. The lions accepted the offer gratefully. Me and Gale collected some firewood for the fire. Since Gale didn’t know how to start a fire, I had to start it with a rock and a stick. Turns out not only my legs are fast and strong, because…

My Beluga Family
I really love beluga whales. I first saw one when I was 5 years old at the Georgia Aquarium, and I fell completely in love with beluga whales. I visit the Georgia Aquarium often, as my grandparents live in Georgia. One time, the beluga whale exhibit was closed, and that was what I was looking…

My Writing ‘Schedule’
My writing schedule, is really not a schedule. I have tried to keep this blog active with posts by writing in spurts and scheduling those posts for specific times. I think consistency is good, and with the scheduled postings, I feel like I can be a little more consistent. Unfortunately, my actual writing times are…

Explosives T-Shirt
I listen to a lot of pod casts on my drive to and from work. One of the podcasts I listen to is Writing Excuses. At the end of each episode they usually provide a writing prompt. I don’t usually do anything with the writing prompts, but this was early in the podcast seasons and…
