At school, we just finished up our fiction stories. Mine was about these spies saving stolen monkeys from the evil scientist. Now I can’t just get enough. I started making another story called Mix ‘n Match. It’s about a kid, named Pixel, his dad, and some friends. Pixel has to save his mom- with whatever it takes. It’s hard for me to generate new ideas. So, right now, I’m stuck. Wish me luck on a successful new story.

Man, I was so close to winning the Spelling Bee. The COUNTY Spelling Bee. There were 109 kids, and it was hard. I was so nervous. It took place in Tice Gym, in Walnut Creek. First two rounds were LONG written tests. Once you get 4 words wrong, you’re out! The first round, I survived, but a lot were eliminated. Maybe 40-45 were eliminated. Then onto the second round? I have to say, it was a lot harder. Now this is where I fell. I had three words spelled wrong, and then I had to come across a word- cachet. That word I struggled on. I spelled it cache. Close, but no cigar. I went to the sign-out table, and they told me I placed 48 out of the 109. That’s pretty good, eh. My parents said I did a good job. I know I did. But I got all teary-eyed, and that was that.
