so i won the writing contest and i got to go with other people in my school to a place where there's a bookfair, everyone's stories they wrote are on display, and you listen to an author talk about their experience and give advice (you also get their book for free which is nice!!)
this year the author was crystal chan and her book was bird and she spoke about how she grew up in iowa (im pretty sure) and she was the only biracial person at her school and such and how her father wanted her to become a scientist, doctor, engineer, but she wanted to become a writer
and her book bird also shares those aspects with other plotpoints as well
it was v interesting
the bus rides were really fun and i sat with the people in my grade in the back and the people in the older grades sat in the middle/front
the people in the older grades played mafia which was funny to listen to
and me and everyone else in my grade sat in the back and waved at trucks, sang about tractors, planned about making a dramatic entrance when we came back to school, and sat on the floor so the bumps were even bumpier
it was really fun!!
we went to pizza hut afterwards and watched a man walk out of pizza hut, go to the vape store closeby, walk back into pizza hut, then go back into the vape store
we also saw a man get pulled over by a cop and get a ticket but it took like fifteen minutes
then the cop came back after a while and just sat there
also i found this website called blurb.com where you can self publish your books so maybe sometimes in the future i'll use that
this was a kinda short chapter but oh well,
((one more thing!))
this old lady bumped into me and said, "excuse me sir"
and that just made me really happy??
i wasnt out to my friends yet so i couldnt really show that i was happy but my god that just made me really really proud??
((I ALSO GOT A SIGNED COPY OF CROOKED KINGDOM BY LEIGH BARDUGO WHICH IS NICE!!)
