Answers for Contest
Comment your answers for the contest under my CCIRA story in the Stories page. Did I mention a prize? No, I didn't! The prize is to be determined at a later date. It will be awesome, I promise you!
Wonderful!
And by wonderful, I mean wonderful! Yup, I'm talking about something none of you have probably heard of.
CCIRA.
You see, CCIRA stands for Cecil Council International Reading Association. Every year they hold an... event? I don't know what the "event" was called, but Eve, Jane, and I all have been invited. Mom forgot though, and Jane was unable to go, but I think it's an honor to be recognized anyway. There are kids from 1st grade to 12th grade, and there is a Literacy Lotto where you can buy raffle tickets for books. There is a writing workshop and a little thing where you bring a piece of writing and share it. And there is a real author there! The author was Allison Whittenberg, who writes wonderful YA romance novels. And by wonderful, here I mean really weird. Like in one, where a fifteen-year-old girl falls in love with a seventy-two-year-old. And the "modern Romeo and Juliet story set in Philadelphia", Tutored (Random House, 2010). She told us to come up with an "elevator summary" for a story. Mine was, "Good and bad race through the galaxy to save the world." The evil aliens would try to do it so that everyone would call them heroes and they could brainwash them. The good humans are trying to stop them.
Needless to say, she didn't like it at all.
Still, it was fun, and I just wanted to tell you about it. I guess this is the end of this post, unless you want to read the story I brought there, which I put into the Story page. See ya!

The Adevntures of the Time-Traveling Trio!
Surprise!!! Jane + Michael + Eve = THE TIME TRAVELING TRIO! Pretty nice, huh? Jane got a new camera and we are making a new show called The Adventures of the Time Traveling Trio! You're gonna love it. It is about how this girl (Jane Austin) discovers an amazing awesome amazingly awesome discovery. Time travel! In Episodes 1 and 2 it is called The Adventures of Jane Austin, The Time-Traveler. Also, the other character in the first episode is the cameraman (Michael Austin). He isn't very important yet, but maybe he'll be more important later on. There is a glitch with the Time Machine in Episode 2, when it takes the two and Jane's best friend (Eve Austin) to the wrong time. Instead of taking taking them to ?????????, it takes them to??????????
Soon when we learn how to plug in Jane's camera we'll post movies !
until then stay tuned !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
