update

hahah i havent been on this in a while...
so. update (:
apparently i was almost forced into entering a writing contest for NJ >:( which is totally unfair because i specialize in realistic fiction writing. NOT answering questions, supporting your answers w/ text support, and be expected to write 5 paragraphs on one stupid little question. obviously viewing from some of the previous grade A students in the same writing competition, i would most definitely not be one of the 16 finalists. which isnt disappointing. i never exactly WANTED to do this in the first place.
well.
hopefully there will be some other writing competition that takes realistic fiction. i can also do fiction(:
well i can do pretty well if its something like "who do you look up to" or "what do you wish to be as you grow older and why?"
btw, i do better if i know im not timed(COUGHnjaskCOUGH)
in the state testing, i HAVE to have at least 5 paragraphs, and theres a specific format for each UGLY paragraph that i have to follow.
WELL EXCUSE ME. I WON FIRST PLACE IN THE TEACHER APPRECIATION WRITING COMPETITION BECAUSE I WAS WRITING ON MY OWN. NOT WITH SOME STUPID FORMAT GUIDE NEXT TO ME!!
education laws are so annoying for language arts. i didnt even KNOW what language arts WAS until 6th grade year....
oh well. sigh.
if you know of any writing competitions... email(:
