A Heavy Load Lifted And A Writing Competition

Hey peoples!

So. Just now, after I wrote my earlier entry, "Something A Small Part Of Me Wants To Believe" when I started listening to We Are Family, for some reason, I felt as though a heavy load had been lifted from my heart. I felt as though I had a whole new bunch of friends (OK, well, I have made at least three, frog, Atropos, and **LoVE** ). Maybe this was what I needed to do all along? Share and interact with the world? Maybe...maybe...

Well. OK, remember the Scholastic thing I wrote about in "Book Catalogues, Modern Music, And Little Old Outdated Me"? OK, so they have this annual competition for young writers. I've never actually considered entering it before. I did think about entering it last year but I wrote less than a paragraph and decided not to. They seemed to have good story plots for this year and I already have a story in mind. I'm not entirely sure if I should enter this year, though. My mom thinks that I won't have any time for this since I have PSLE this year. One of the teachers in my school, Mdm Sue Binder (not real name), who was once our English teacher and is also the aunty of one of my classmates, Jar City (obviously, not her real name ), who is our assistant chair-person, thinks that I have potential. I don't know what she says about this year, though. What do you guys think? Should I or should I not go for the writing competition?

Have an awesome day, everyone! ^u^
