You Aint Gonna Believe This!

do you remember that poem i posted back in November called I Raise My Hat? I dont know if i told you or not but, i entered that poem into a Legion writing contest. SO a couple months passed and i figured i didnt win like the last two years i entered. But little did i know...today at school, we had an assembly and some people from our school had won the legion contest (theres 1st 2nd and 3rd). i actually came in late this morning, i come and everyone's coming out of the gym cuz it just finished and theyre like "you won! you won!" and im like "what did i win?" and their like "you got second place in the legion contest!" so then i kinda freaked out and did a little happy dance right in the middle of the hall xD
But yeah, they gave me a certificate and they framed it, they gave me $20 and a pin!! i'm sooo happy.
ALSO i'm walking up to the plaza tomorrow with Haley, Adam, Martin and Brock so i'll tell you how that goes, some funny stuff is probably GO DOWN (it always does with those guys) so i'll keep you posted.
ALSO i made a new youtube that imma use for just ranting and making funny videos. I've posted 4 so far, my channels called TheGreaseBird and you'll know its me cuz my icon is a photo of a 50's girl drinkin tea. THAT IS ALL!

Finally!

So you guys know i write, yes? Well, if not, now you know. I've been writing books, short stories and poems for about 3 years. In total I've started 15 books. Thats alot once you think about it. I could never seem to finish them. I never knew why but recently, i discovered why:no plot. Characters that are hard to relate to. and the fact that i had no idea what was going to happen. and that i'd drag on and on. finally, about three weeks ago, i started writing a book called If I Wasnt Me. it had a good plot, good characters (in other books, i'd have too many and it'd get confusing) and at about chapter 6, i knew how it was going to end. Needless to say, i finished If I Wasnt Me with 120 pages and 18 chapters. Its a romantic/sci fi. The plot? Johnny Caze had been in love with his best friend, Poppy Regardo, since 6th grade. In 9th grade, his other best friend, Richard Seniter, started going out with her which causes a secret rivalry between them. Now this wacky thing has happened that has caused them to switch bodies. They have no idea how they got themselves into this and no idea how to get out. In the mean time, Johnny will finally see what its like to be Poppy's boyfriend. But he isnt even himself.
Now, you have no idea how proud i am of myself. its so rewarding that after 15 books, to actually finish one.
