Here's a story for you guyses!
Once there was a land ruled by a king and queen. The land was full of magic, magic was knit into every blade of grass, every mountain, every tree, every stream, river, and lake, every stone, from huge boulders that had stood there since the beginning of time to tiny pebbles. Magic was in the air. This magical country was roughly rectangular, except for a piece of land sticking out from the northwest corner, called the Finger.
The king and queen were middle-aged, but they had no child. The people were torn between loving their queen and hoping that the king would remarrry. The bishop in particular of the people loved her; she always lislened to his speeches and smiled during the most boring of them, the ones where even he knew they were boring. Everyone loved her very much, so when she became sick, her subjects were both sad and hopeful.

You'll have to come back for more!
Mrs. Martin gave us homewrk for this morning for math. She's helping some people writ an 8th grade math textbook. She gave us about twenty problems to work, and, once I understood them, they were pretty easy! there were two problems that gave me trouble though. I hope you know, Jill, 'cause when I come, I'm gonna ask you. If you don't though, that's fine. I'm not going to get a grade on this.

But why are they sad and hopeful at the same time? Why don't the king and queen have any children? Why is the queen so nice to the bishop? You can't just leave us hanging like this!

Seriously, though, putting your stories on a blog is a great idea. I look forward to seeing more of your writing!

norman:
they are sad because they love their queen and don't want to lose her. they are hopeful because the queen might die and the king wil remarry and get another heir. the queen is nice to the bishop because it's she can't hate him
(actually, she could but then he wouldn't be nice to her-in the shaky sense; no one would hate their ruler; no one wants to end up in jail), who would do fancy ceromonies besides the bishop? sorry, but i thought i answered those questions in the story. Maybe we should both read it again. if i see any more problems i'll fix them.

This is a great story so far. I'll be looking for more every day. And when you come to visit I sure hope I can figure out those math problems.

Love ya, Miss Jill
