ABCs of being me



I'm at it again. Doing another one of MamaKat's writer's workshops!
Go check her out! Here are her prompts:

1.) For your birthday a sibling has decided to have the first six months of your blog printed and bound. Write a forward for the book.

2.) Write a 26-line poem using all the letters of the alphabet, where the first line starts with the letter "A," the second "B," the third "C," etc., culminating with the final line starting with "Z."

3.) Start your story with, "In retrospect, I wouldn't say it was my best idea." And end it with, "And that's how I attempted to make this world a better place.

4.) What would the truth have done? Write about a time when honesty was NOT the best policy.

5.) What made your childhood bearable? Write about it.


I decided to do #2.
We just did a poetry unit with DramaKing's class so I know that poems don't have to rhyme. I'm horrible at that!
