Writers Block

Okay, I don't know if you were ever told, but I ADORE writing stories. I am having a hard time writing a book that is a NOVEL and I want to get PUBLISHED. (I will send it in- not getting my hopes up, but a girl can dream! :) ) Do you have any ideas? Thanks!

Mock Trial Team

So, I am really excited because yesterday was our Mock Trial Meet. There are a bunch of schools in the U.S. that put together a team. You get a case, and have lawyers and witnesses. Every day at practice, you practice the lawyers’ questions and the witnesses' answers. At the meet, the school's Defendant team goes up against another school's Prosecution or vice versa. You earn and lose points for stuff like professionalism and objections. We went up against our arch-rival, HAND. (That was first round) At the end, there are a bunch of schools that go to state. The winner and first runner-up in the state go to nationals. And I am hoping that's us! I was a Defendant witness, and the case was about a bull getting run over. My name was Kasey Moore. I was at the stand and a girl with a heavy accent asked me if my sunglasses were polarized. I thought she said 'pulverized' and replied, "They were broken." She asked me again, and I said the same thing. It was so funny, and luckily we won't lose points because it was a simple misunderstanding. I can't wait to find out how we did. Hope you guys are doing well.
Happy birthday to Ryder! (He's getting to be such a big boy . . .) and I hope Carson is enjoying BIG-SCHOOL (He is too- I can't believe that his birthday is in February!) Hope to see you guys soon.
