Hello Everyone! I just finished reading a few very helpful pieces of advice from last year's 7th graders. 3 of the best (and vitally important) things that I saw were 1- DO NOT PROCRASTINATE! I saw that piece of advice in every post. I think that is very good advice. I don't usually procrastinate, but I will make sure that I won't procrastinate this year. I advise you to do the same. 2-READ!!! I saw this a lot. I think it is a very good idea. I personally LOVE reading, so it won't be too hard to read a lot, but I'll try to read more than usual.  3- Make friends. I thought this was very good advice. I didn't see this in as many, but I thought it was very important. I know maybe half of the class already, but I'll try to strengthen my old friendships and find some new friends this year. I think these pieces of advice will help me be a better student this year because it'll help me enjoy the school year and get good grades.

I've always loved making up stories. I would tell stories to my mom and sometimes at night when she would tuck me in, she would tell me to tell her a story because she was too tired. I didn't write those stories down, but when I was pretty young, I wrote a book for my older sister. She loved animals so with the help of my mom, I made her an ABC book with I think it might've been 5 facts about an animal and it was handwritten by me. (barely legible.:) I included one animal for land and one from the sea. It took me LONG time to write it. I can't remember if I gave it to her for her birthday or for Christmas. She still has it. I also wrote a book for my mom, but it was a book about a movie we loved. It was called The Secret of Moon acre. Technically I copied the story, but I just made it for my mom, Plus, I was still very young. In 5th grade I made my own chapter book called Mother Nature. It is published, but it was only a cool school thing we did then, so it didn't really get for real published and their is only 2 copies. I am currently re drawing some of the pictures so I can make it look better and then I'm going to send it off to see if it can get published.I am also working on some chapter books, a lot actually. I have too many ideas and it takes a while for me to put them down on paper. My longest unfinished one is 149 pages so far. Well, that's my introduction to my writing life. I hope you enjoyed it!
