I am realizing now I shouldn’t have left the fudge at school because now I can’t eat the entire box in one sitting. Or maybe it’s better that I did leave it at school so I can’t eat the entire box in one sitting. Can’t decide.
I was going for a free-verse poetry slice of life story this afternoon. I’m not sure my line breaks work where they are. Any feedback about that would be MOST appreciated.
Michelle:
Unfortunately, you are out of the 31 day drawing, but if you continue to write (and link before midnight) for the rest of the month, then you’ll be in this drawing: http://twowritingteachers.wordpress.com/2010/03/02/day-2-of-31-solsc.
Best,
Stacey
So, I forgot to write yesterday; does that mean I’m outta the drawing?
