The Notebook
my pink fluffy chair @ my dad’s
#Why it Matters
-Because it’s the only writing I actually look forward to doing, and there’s no official date of when I have to complete it because it’s all about me.
My first big writing piece in fourth grade.
It matters because this new style and informal way of writing leads to misunderstanding.
Mrs. Terri is McCall’s mom. She just wrote a book, and it’s inspiring to know that when she was younger she wasn’t interested in writing (like me), but she found that passion later in life.
First novel I actually didn’t fall asleep too.
The chair is my reading chair that helps get me in the reading zone; encourages me to read.
