My brain was stuck in a pinball machine for a minute. But I think that is exactly how sixth grade felt too. <br /><br />Don't worry, there was plenty of cringing. Why did I name a donkey, two mice, four geese...and a bunch of other characters who really didn't do anything? Did I have another 20,000 words planned?Lauri Meyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15714245926405732068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6953622313060163187.post-89781182536683585592012-07-24T22:29:47.998-04:002012-07-24T22:29:47.998-04:00This plot was like so totally lame!!!

Suddenly this year it is all cleaned up. And then I proceed to tell a bunch of stories and never explain why it is clean. So yeah, I need to work on plotting.Lauri Meyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15714245926405732068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6953622313060163187.post-26547726251051885332012-07-24T12:15:45.776-04:002012-07-24T12:15:45.776-04:00Hey, you can't write for sixth graders if you ...Hey, you can't write for sixth graders if you can't think like one. So cool!!!!!!! (Ooh, it was painful to type so many exclamation points. I guess I will always be an old fart.)<br /><br />And Erin is right; it is amazing your early writing wasn't more cringe-worthy. So cool.

When I went back and looked at a story I wrote in the sixth grade (called, please don't laugh: The Friendship Contest), I couldn't believe how horrible it was. The plot was the lamest ever. If I ever become a famous author, I'll have to post it on my blog, just to give others hope. LOLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
