The Real Life Adventures of Emily Sinclair

Most everyone of you who reads my blog writes to some point or another. That's what brought most of us together-a love of writing and reading. I think it's time we compile the list of 'You Know When...' and YOU tell which one of these applies to you! Then I'll have a grading session at the end to determine what kind of writer you are. Good luck! You know you're a writer when... 1You see someone on TV who you think looks just like one of your characters. 2 You read a book and are certain that writer ripped you off somehow. 3 You think of your characters as your friends. 4 You reenact a scene from your story and do the dialogue for all the characters. 5 You watch a movie with your friends and you can't stop saying, "I'm totally using that line in my book." 6 Your mood depends on what's going on in your book. 7 You'd rather write than watch TV. 8You cry while you write a sad scene in your story. 9 You get mad when someo...

How many of you love to play with toys from when you were little? How about watching movies that you watched when you were younger?

Growing up is hard but full of fun experiences along the way. We need to be happy with where we're at right now, not what we were before and what we'll be i...

Now I know I haven't posted a long time, but that doesn't mean we haven't collected a lot of photos to show you all! Here's what fall is like in Eastern Washington, and what we do to celebrate it! Thanks to M.M. for taking all the pictures, you're the best! Time to put the tomatoes in the bucket! (Note the horse in the background. What's wrong with this picture? ;D) One of our many beautiful sunsets. At a girl's retreat at Priest Lake, Idaho. I felt like I was at Loch Ness! :D Myself in a teepee us girls found in the woods. Trying to make a serious Indian face here, like in the movies. :) Trees in the fog. An afternoon on the Bluff. The Burning Bush in our yard. It's so RED! The Elk herd, near our house. Peekaboo! The deer sees you! Our cat has decided she likes my sister's horse. This is evidenced by the next picture... Because now she's settling in for a nap! :) The fog risin...
