The Real Life Adventures of Emily Sinclair

Introduce yourself! Divulge your life's vision, likes, dislikes, aspirations, or something completely random! My name is Emily McConnell. Currently I'm pursuing a writing career in hopes of getting a YA contemporary fiction novel published. We'll see how that goes. I'm also hopefully going to start a job soon training two to three year old colts who have never been ridden. I still haven't gotten the call-back on that job, so I'm praying that it will happen. We'll see! :) Otherwise, I'm a very random kind of girl. I love history to the point I get tears in my eyes when I find a new history text book or biography at the library on my favorite topics, I love my horse Bodie and I can't wait to hit the trails with him and find new adventures, I love reading historical fiction books, writing, hiking, teaching English (the language) learning Russian, exploring, etc. For the last couple of years my history obsession has been the country of Russia. I live

I got several GREAT entries for Assignment 5 in the Write This Piece! series. Originally I thought I'd gotten eight entries... but when I went back and looked, I only counted five? Somehow I miscounted. I thought for sure I had eight entries in all. I don't know. Please, please forgive me if you sent in an entry and somehow I misplaced it. Our family is going through a lot of things right now and I am having a hard time keeping track of my own personal life. I have no idea if I had eight entries or only five. Whatever the case, all the entries I received are great, and if I received others but didn't include them in this post, let me know and I'll post them in another post. I'm so sorry if I somehow skipped someone's entries! Enjoy! These scenes were amazing. Congrats to all the great writers. I LOVED each and every one of these scenes you writers came up with. All were really scary! And inspiring... :D The entry I felt was the most accurate to the musi

I know I promised I'd post the writing assignments I'd received today, but I blanked out on the fact my family and I are going to Idaho today with some visiting cousins. I don't remember these cousins at all because I was four or something the last time I saw one of them. :) So it's been a long time. We're going to be busy today, so I won't be back for a while. Perhaps tomorrow, okay? I'll try! No promises, my cousins are visiting until Wednesday. I don't get to spend much time with them. :) So I'll get to work on those assignments as soon as possible! I received eight in all. (You guys really cranked them out on this one! I'm getting the feeling people like writing about scary scenes... ;D) I'll try to rank them tonight. In the mean time, here is what I did with my cousins on Friday. We went to the zoo not far from our house, where they keep lots and lots of... TIGERS! My favorite wild animal! :D
