Some even more exciting things (I need to start writing on my blog more)

Alright, here I go.


The End of School Officially Came! We had a pool party and a 5th Grade Moving Up ceremony on the third to last day of school, We went on a hike the second to last day of school, and the last day of school we sat through graduation and had an early dismissal. I then went with a few friends to get Hibachi and Go Kart and a couple other things.

The 365,000 word challenge! This is something that I heard of on the National Novel WritingMonth Site Young Writers Program, where you write 1,000 words a day for an entire year! I started it on my birthday, and ever since then that is what I've been doing.

Birthday Party! I went to a friend's birthday party a week ago. There I got to stick my face in whipped cream, eat ice cream soup, get sprayed with a hose, and hang out with my friends. It was really fun.

I'm going to Las Vegas! On Wednesday, I fly out to Las Vegas with my parents and hang out with my grandma for that time.

My Radio Interview was posted!!!! You can now listen to it online, and because it was posted, my book has gotten even more publicity!


So, yeah. I've been pretty busy.

Even MORE exciting things I've done but been Putting Off Writing on My Blog Until Now (FINALLY)

Hello, people. There are millions of things I have done in the last month, but I've been procrastinating with my blog posts. Here is a quick list:

All of my novels got printed out and delivered to me. My book is now available on amazon, and although only a few people have bought it, I'm excited.

I did my book reading! Almost 20 people came (including family members), and I signed a lot of books.

Someone from the reading wanted to interview me for a radio podcast! I'll explain what happened a little later, but she wanted to interview me. I was really excited.

Spring Break Happened. I traveled to Massachusetts and NYC and back in time for Easter. Now I'm in school again.

I turned into a zombie for a video. I had lots of professional makeup done, and in the video I had to eat my dad (not really though). I had to stuff blood and guts into my mouth. It was GROSS!

I did the interview! I went up to NYC and got interviewed only a couple days ago, and it was a little nervewracking but fun.

Things coming up:

I have a dance (as well as an art)  show next week! Alright, it's only for school, but it will be really fun!

MY BIRTHDAY IS IN 17 DAYS! I'm turning eleven!

MY BIRDAY PARTY! Enough said.

The end of school. I'm kind of sad that it's happening but next year I will be in 6th grade, which is middle school! Plus, my summer will be awesome!


There. Had to get that out of my system.

New Book Updates

Well, the process of me writing a novel is over. After my mother finished revising and my dad finished formatting, we went onto a self publishing website and uploaded it. We proofed it and made sure everything was good, then we ordered 60 copies of my book. At first it was supposed to come the Tuesday  after my reading, but we soon fixed it so it came today. I am so excited! I am keeping on copy for myself, but I will sell the others on Sunday in a bookstore in NYC!!!!!!!! A lot of my relatives are coming, and they are all buying books! Plus, my book is available on Amazon and already three people have ordered it. Plus, next week is spring break, so I am going on a vacation. I am so excited!!!!!

Current Events!

Sorry I haven't really been blogging. I've been really busy. But here are some of the current events of my life!

          In school, There has been a recital, a concert and a 4th and 5th grade play. I played Clarinet in the recital, and I really did well. I was also in the play, and I sang with the chorus in the concert.
        My family and I are doing really well on finishing my novel. I have finished my revisions, and my mom is almost done. My dad is formatting, and we have an author photo even. I'm really excited for my reading!
   I also went to the city a few weeks ago. I got to see an Irish music concert, and see the movie The Wind Rises. Last week I went to see Divergent the movie, and I thought it was okay. Not amazing, but good.

That's about exciting as my life gets.

I Finished My Novel!

On Monday,  February 24 in the morning, I finished my novel in school. Double spaced it is 202 pages and 56,160 words. I was very happy, so happy that I jumped up from my seat and danced with joy. Everyone was really proud of me, and that night my dad printed out two copies of the manuscript so me my parents and I could edit it. My dad also printed one out for himself, so we can all read through it.
   If you didn't know, I have been writing a novel for the last four months. I was supposed to get it done by the 28th, but I finished earlier so it gave my family more time to revise. I am really excited!

My Visit to Chicago

This week, my school is on break, so my whole family went to Chicago. Since I used to live there, I was going to see all of my friends and my old neighborhood and everything.
My dad, sister, and I flew out to Chicago on Saturday. My mom was stuck in Arizona because all of the snow, so she had to fly in on Sunday. We all stayed at my mom's friend's house, and on Saturday one of my sister's friends and a family friend came over.
The next day I went over to another friend's house to play. After that,  my parents and I went to another friends house to have dinner, and so I also slept over.
The next day, I got to go to my old school to visit for half a day. After that, I got to sleep over with another one of my friends.
The next day I flew home. I was supposed to fly home in the early evening, but my plane was delayed three hours. I got home at two in the morning, and finally my vacation was over.                            

Snow Day And Start of Break

Today We had a snow day. It snowed a foot, and is going to continue over night. The whole day I had to clean the house and do homework, so I wasn't bored!

Also, I started Mid winter break. I have the week of next week, and I will be doing a lot of fun stuff! I will blog about it later.

Sorry I haven' blogged in a while. I promise I will blog again very soon!

American Library Association Meeting

Over the weekend, my family and I went down to Pennsylvania for the American Library Association Meeting. My dad went for work, but my mom and sister and I went for fun.
   The day before that, my family drove up to NYC so my sister could go to a concert. I walked around New York and then went to my aunts house to wait for the concert to be done. Finally, around midnight, we drove to Philadelphia and got to our hotel. It was a nice hotel, and we all went to bed.
The next day my dad left early for a meeting, so I slept in and them and then went to breakfast. Then we finally got to the exhibits, and I got a lot of free books. After that my mom went to a meeting and the rest of my family went to lunch at Terminal Market. After that, we went back to the hotel to hang out, and we did that for the rest of the night. We watched the first part of the Grammys, while eating pizza and sushi and talking to friends. It was fun.
   The next day was a school day, but I had to miss it. In the morning, my mom and I got up early to go to the Literature Awards Ceremony, where they announced the Newbery and other medals.  After that we went to the hotel, and packed and drove home.

I had a really good weekend!

Long Weekend

We had a fun three day weekend! On Thursday, my mom went to Minnesota and my and my dad and sister stayed here. I didn't want to see her go, but I knew she was going to be back on Monday. Then, on Friday, my class went ice skating. That was fun, but my dentist appointment wasn't.
     Anyways, on Saturday me and my dad and sister went to NC to see a band play at a record store. Then, we went to see where I was doing a reading at a bookstore, then a consignment store and a coffee shop. Then we went home, and the next day I stayed at home. I did the same for today, but I;m excited that my mom is coming home. Plus, I've written a lot of my novel and finished a book! I had a pretty good (though not too exciting) weekend!

First Ice Skating Trip and Teeth Drama

Every friday in January in my school, the 4th, 5th, and 6th grade go to the ice skating rink to ice skate. We started yesterday afternoon, and we went for about forty five minutes. I was fairly good, and enjoyed skating with my friends. After that, I went to get four teeth pulled . It hurt, but my dentist said I was one of the bravest clients. Now, I have to get a retainer. It was a long fun, hard day for me, and I'm glad I got through it.

Happy New Years!

                Happy New Years, everyone! I hope you all had a good New Years. Mine was good! Here is what happened:
               On New Years Eve, My family traveled down to a nearby city to a hotel. We brought games and stuff to do, to make our New Years Eve fun. When we got to the hotel, the whole family went swimming. After swimming, we went back to out room to change into clothes, then we went out for Asian food, then for a soda. We got back to the hotel at nine, and then we played a game. We all hung out separately, and watched the Special on TV and counted down till midnight. After that, we all went to sleep. The next day we went home.

Maybe it wasn't the biggest New Years, but I loved it! Happy 2014!
