The Real Life Adventures of Emily Sinclair

Well readers, are you ready for another Assignment? Good, because I have a new one up for you! This piece is a rather comical, serious and adventuresome soundtrack. It's a good one, in other words. ;) I wish I could enter these assignments, but alas, I put them on so I cannot do so! :D Rules are the same as before: 1) Listen to the music and write your piece. Please keep it a page or under a page. 2) Email it to me, or send it by Google+, or by the Blogger Contact Form. If you send it to the Blogger Contact Form, you can use the email notrealfakemail@yahoo.com if you prefer not to send your piece in with your real email. Just include your penname with your story. 3) Entries are open until next week, Sunday, the first. Write away, my dear readers! Hope you enjoy this piece. It's probably the hardest on yet, but one of the funniest! Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: No Ticket, by John Williams.

A friend of mine who is an artist asked me if I wanted her to draw one of my characters. "Well, yes, actually, I do have someone I'd like you to draw," I told her. "Who would you like me to do?" So I sent her a photo of Tatyana. My friend wanted to do some practice on drawing people. Today she sent me back the picture and I thought it was too cute not to share! Tatyana Dimitrievna Melnikova, by DearLovewell. I thought it was so great. It was so nice of her to draw this for me. :) Thought I'd share it with the rest of you! She's got talent!

I'm beginning to think I'm going to start calling this the Write this Piece! Assignment, not contest. It just doesn't feel like a contest. I think it makes a better assignment, because the purpose of these posts was to inspire more of you to write and get your imaginations going. :) That said, I got five entries this week. I was thrilled! They were all sooooo good, and so different and yet similiar in a way. I read through each one, listened to the song over and over again with each piece, then decided the following. Why do you guys make this so hard for me??? I want to choose them all for first! They were all so close together! I love them all. :) Thanks for sending these in! First place goes to Lauren! Lauren's piece sounded to me like what was going on in the song. I have an advantage over most of you because I know where the music comes from. Lauren's piece really hit the nail on the head with her piece- this is a sad, contemplative and yet somewhat...

I have two entries so far for the new Write This Piece! Contest and am hoping for more. The deadline is Sunday, and the new winners will be announced Monday. For those of you who have not entered but are hesitant to enter your email, I decided to run a test today and see if I could manipulate the Blogger Contact Form so you guys can send in your pieces without sending in your email. I created a fake email for you bloggers to use and it works! Now you can send me your pieces without having to worry about giving up your email (I'm no hacker or meanie, but I know it's important to your parents to keep your emails secure.)  so you can enter the writing contest. Here's how it works: 1) Write your piece 2) Past it into the section that says "Message". 3) Put in either your name or your blogger name on the spot where it says "name." 4) Enter the email notrealfakemail@yahoo.com as your email address That's it! That way I receive the piece, (...

We're back with another Write this Piece post! I didn't blog much this week, but that's okay. I've got a new special once-a-week blog post I'm planning for you all that I will reveal tomorrow and Wednesday. In the mean time, let's do another writing assignment. As usual, listen to the musical composition I provide in the Youtube box below, write a paragraph or two (no more, please) and send it to me via the blogger contact form or Google+ (For those of you who have my Google+) or my email, for those of you who have my email. I will post the winners and all of the sample pieces written by you blog readers next week on Monday, January 19th. That gives you a whole week to write this. I hope we get some more entries this time, I love seeing what you guys write up! Okay, here's our next music piece. Enjoy and happy writing! Longing for Home: Return to Neverland OST. Composed by Joel McNeely.

Well unfortunately I only got two entries this week. I don't usually like to "judge" a contest if I only get two winners, so instead I'm just going to post the two clips and count them as tied. Congratulations Jesseca and Rebekah, you two both tied this week. :) Here are what Jesseca and Rebekah thought the music I posted last week sounded like. It's amazing how similar they got to each other! Rebekah: Where the sky kisses the sea The wind swept through Brian’s dark hair as he gazed towards the horizon where the sky met the sea and where most of his people believed the world stopped completely. During this voyage he would find out because that was where their destination lay. His sister, Sorcha, came up beside him and laid a hand on his shoulder. “It’s hard to believe we’re finally one our way out there.” She said, her accent and flaming red hair revealing her Scottish heritage. “Aye.” Brian admitted, slipping a hand around her shoulders and g...

I'm sitting at my computer. It's twelve-thirty-six, my friend is getting ready for bed. We watched Fiddler on the Roof with my family, drank sparkling cider and shot off fireworks at midnight. We watched the minute dial turn on the clock and strike twelve. It's another year. Another year to laugh, to cry, to love. Another year to discover what God has in store with us. What does He want to do in your life? Again, I like to outline my New Years goals. Some I will reuse from last year. Others are new. Whatever the case, if God wants me to accomplish these He will guide me and help me through it. Have a wonderful New Year. 1) Read through the entire Bible and highlight verses that stand out to me 2) Gain a better relationship with Bodie 3) Do the best job I can at my first book pitch (and that I don't chicken out at the pitch!) 4) Get a job 5) Learn to trust in the Lord with all my heart, soul and strength 6) Compete in Mounted Orienteering and Competitive...
