Great book.


Okay guys, I just read an amazing book. I literally stayed up till 11:30 pm to finish it....
:D
It is called "Kathleen Please Come Home" by scott o'dell. Keep in mind, it's not a happy story, though. A lot of people die. but still, it's awesome!!!! This girl, Kathleen, keeps a diary, and that's how the story is told. Part 2 is told from her mother's diary. Part 3, back to Kathleen!
I would really recomend you to read this book, if you dont have anything to read at the moment.


okay, so..... I know I should post something about my story ALTP, but... nothing has happened. But I did write a short scary story, it is called "MARY". Ha, my brother got scared. :P
more soon,

Fun!

Today I get to do what Madeline likes best...
Shopping!!!
I'm pretty excited, especially since my daddy gave me a lot of money to spend, since this is the annual shopping spree for new clothes for the summer. But unfortunately, unlike Madeline, i can't just spend it freely on coach or vera bradley..... I'm just getting shorts.... and maybe like one t shirt *sigh*

but anyways, more on my story later, nothing important has really happened~

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?

SPONGEBOB SQAUREPANTS!!!! haha, okay. I got it out of my system. (and no, I'm not delirious.)

I made an email especially for my story "A Little Too Perfect". :D I was bored, and I doubt that anyone will email me, but here it is alittletooperfect@ymail.com
Only use this email to ask me questions about the story or whatever. dont ask if i like oreos, or anything random like that. but if u are wondering, yes, i do like oreos.

Ello, mate.

Ever heard of inkpop? well, it's an amazing website! I have my story "A Little too perfect" posted on there, (the first ten chapters,) and it has... DRUM ROLL PLEASE..
83 comments! woohoo! It's totally a start. ;)
Anyways, I thought since I have nothing better to do, I'll post some random reviews.

....the components of the story are nice. :) It starts off well and the characters are believable- UntitledMess
...i like the quotes in the beginning of each chapter. this has a lot of potential. the prologue was adorable and the characters were likeable- cara_ruegg

.....Phineas and Ferb is one of my all time favorite shows ever. Seriously.

- L.C. Candle

(ahaha, dont ask! I may have mentioned that show in my story!!! Perry's my fave.)

Well, that's enough reviews for one day, don't ya think? more tomorow,
Madison D.

um yeah hello *insert random title name here*


okay, so firstly I changed the main character in COLORED's age.... she is now ten, instead of twelve. I realized the way I developed her was a bit more childish and she seemed younger to me.

ALTP UDATE: now about 76 pages..... I'm guessing, too lazy to count. maybe more, probably not less.


btw...... this is what i pictured Madeline would look like. :D

Yay, starting new book!

okay, I know I'm writing a little too perfect and all, but everyone needs a side project, right? After I'm finished ALTP, I'll get more serious about this other story, right now it's just for fun.
SO.... I got inspired to start writing this because we are learning about segregation right now in reading, and it's just horrible how black and whites were seperated!
Here's the summary: (btw, it's called COLORED)


In the state of Alabama, racism is a real big problem. It's 1955, and all the whites are hating the blacks. Tate Beverly is twelve years old, and already she's seen too much. Her father won't hire any african american even if his life depended on it, and her mother forbids her from communicating with the new neighbor's adopted black child, Sadie. But when everyone around her is giving threats to the brown-skinned, Tate tries to stand up for them, even it means disappointing her own family.
