A Quest To Find My Inner Writer

In my English book it says I should write in a journal daily so that I come to find out who I am as a writer, or something like that.
It sounded pretty corny but I figured with the (sarcasm)flood(/sarcasm) of comments I've been getting, I could acquiesce (ooh, big word) and try to write daily in my blog. Journal. Thing.

So, my quest begins!
Let's start with my name.
Well my last name literally means "writer". So why do I have to find who my inner writer is again?

Oh yeah.
They told me to.

That just sounds sappy though.
And sappy stuff gives me a headache.

Maybe I'm just not getting the point they're trying to make. But why couldn't they just say "Write daily. It'll help develop good writing skills and help you find your style."? Or maybe they did and i just wasn't paying attention.

Either way.

This better count as school work.

--------------------------
The other day I made some jello.
1) because I felt like it
2) we had jello mix just sitting around
and 3) Everybody loves jello.

Maybe I was in a nice mood or maybe I was just bored. Who knows?

So after supper it's done and Jake comes in my room and asks if he can have some jello. Jake is the jello nazi. Nothing comes between Jacob and his jello.
I told him if he wasnt a pig and only took a normal amount, sure he could have some.
So he dished out some for Timmy and Sarah too.

After a while I go into the kitchen and steal about three spoonfuls but I hadn't yet had supper. I figured they were done and there would be plenty left over for me.
About 15 minutes later I went back and ALL the jello was GONE.
Isn't that great?

To quote my dad,

You do something nice for people and you get screwed.


This doesn't mean be a total jerk and not ever do anything nice for people. It fit my situation pretty well though.
I wanted some jello!

I haven't found anybody yet so until tommorow,

(enter catchy phrase here)

Your dad was mostly joking.
(you're making me look mean to the "blogosphere!" lol!)
;-)

You want any comments on your writing?


;-) ;-)

Lol, sorry. You're not supposed to care what people think of you. ;) :P

No, no comments on the writing, it was probably really bad because I haven't found any inner writer yet. :P

Your dad is hilarious!

However, I would have to say that I don't like the IDEA of jello, even though I end up eating it anyways.
