summer is finally here!!!

i am excited that the sun is now shining at Saskatoon! after a whole year of learning , i finally have time to relax.   no more dance classes, no more school classes! my ( favourite ) cousins are here from Winnipeg. this morning we are going to the park, yay!!!! the last time they came was when it was our long lasting winter, we also went to the park then too. we will probably play our usual game of tag. i love my cousins!! not in the "mushy-gushy" way, but in the "i'm glad your here" way. well, i better be off to the park, my sister is getting pretty anxious to go.

looking at my blog now ( it's now almost 2014) i realize there are a few blog updates i forgot to post, so anything i might post about summer and relaxing is from last year which i forgot to post. oops!!

Christmas!!!

merry christmas to all and a happy new year. dear readers, i am sorry i did not write a Christmas blog update. 

this is blog update is for how to write a book (mostly a novel) and advice from me. i write novels and books a lot. 
step 1. choose your type of book. ( mystery, comedy, adventure, romance )
step 2. plan your five W's and one H. ( who, what, when, where,why, and how)
step 3. plan out your book. ( what happens when, why and where)
step 4. start writing

it is never good to just start writing one day after not writing for a long time. if you don't finish the story in one day, the next time you start writing you might write different than when you started. so it is always good to reread what you have written already. 
please post your short/long stories on this blog in the comment spot so i can read it! thank-you for reading!!

writing on pen and paper!

halloween

halloween is a day to be creative, unique, and spooky with your costume. most schools don't allow spooky costumes, gruesome mask's, weapons, or blood. i think that is a very good idea because is still little kids in schools that can get very freaked out after seeing those types of costumes. it is good to have a nice half-half point of scary and nice. these are some grade appropriate costumes.
kindergarten: princess,funny clown,firefighter,policeman,fairy,mermaid
grade 1: funny clown,farmer,cartoon character(bob the builder e.t.c),princess, funny furry monster,or someone from sesame street.
grade 2: clown,cartoon character,someone from your favourite movie, disney character.
grade 3: clown,red riding hood, dorothy of the wizard of oz(or someone from the wizard of oz), vampire, magician,policeman,firefighter
grade 4: disney character, favourite pop star,singer,someone from your favourite tv show
grade 5: 60's/70's/80's girl/boy,person from wild west,singer, gypsy
grade 6: cleopatra,someone from ancient egypt, god/goddess from ancient greece, monster,animal,zombie,vampire,ghost.
grade 7: favourite singer/actor/comedian, monster, someone from a little kids cartoon (FUNNY!!!!), what you wanna be when you grow up.
grade 8: clown, monster,vampire, book,what you wanna be when you grow up.

these costumes you don't have to use, i just wrote them here for idea's,but if you do end up using one of them(or more!!!!) please post a picture on my blog and write some comments, so i can see how you look in the costumes.

first day jitters

even going into an older grade this year, i still got the first day jitters. Adam, starting his first full year  at school, was probably pretty scared too, as well as Emily. Eoin probably didn't feel anything at all. are the first day jitters real, or something your mind creates? when i was younger my mom told me(and still does) jitters are butterflies in your stomach, but now that i am older i wonder where that catchphrase started from. i looked it up on WIKIPEDIA and found it was sort of gross to think about, but i might as well inform you, rather then leave you hanging on the question. the catchphrase "butterflies in the stomach" means a fluttery feeling in your stomach. scientifically it is caused by a reduction of blood-flow to the organ. Anyway, you can look up more info on butterflies in your stomach later on WIKIPEDIA.

important lesson of the past week( maybe two weeks)

as most of you, or all of you readers know, my sister Emily is in competitive gymnastics. last friday( the twelfth) / saturday ( the thirteenth) my sister worked super hard and got many new skills, but in return for her getting new skills, her leg started to really hurt. she started complaining it hurt. often at nights she would need a hot water bottle to help ease the pain. one day we went to my grandparents farm, my mother knew my grandparents had tensor bandage, so she asked if we could borrow it. they said yes. so a few days later i asked her to create a dance with me. after i asked i realized that she probably could not do any of the fancy tricks we would often create together. when i was about to say, " oh yeah, your leg hurts." then walk off, but Emily said, " sure Anna, but maybe we should take it easy. and not have too hard or difficult moves" i agreed and we both found music we liked, or as Emily would probably say;"Anna choose different songs and i got to chose from them." 

all of that made me think of "don't let your injuries get in the way of what you want to do", or "don't let  your injuries take hold of you".

thats all for now;
