Missourian Newspaper

    I'm excited about this weekend. It's the state meet for Special Olympics Missouri. I'll be able to recognize one person at the Opening Ceremony. The reason why is because she is one of the Miss Queens nominated for Miss Missouri. ^_^ I know someone who's a pageant woman! Hehehehe.     I'm also excited for another reason.

I literally said I'd be honored. It was nerve-wrecking, but also fun. Today, I have to find a newspaper box that gives out this specific company. I can't wait to read the paper. I'll be taking a photo of it and uploading that on Facebook. I told my friends and family I would do that.

The particular book I shared for critique is called "Carlina's Culture." I certainly got a lot of help. At times, I felt like screaming, because they pointed so many things that I apparently need to change. Geez! When I wrote this book, I wanted to aim it for kids. I guess I wasn't thinking about everything during the thinking process. With the critique I got today, it certainly looks like I'm gonna end up re-writing the entire book. What a shame, too. At the time I finished writing it, I thought Carlina's Culture seemed like a really good book. I didn't realize I left out so much until now. We even talked about expanding our group. I don
