Project Rewrite

So I was in a tiny private Christian school for 3-8th grades, and we had a writing competition every year called Young Authors. Unfortunately for me, Young Authors had several strict rules about our stories, and often my teachers had Opinions that influenced the story in a negative manner. It was an annual tradition that I would come home complaining about something my teacher had done to my story, or something they had made me put in or take out.

Well, I've been graduated for almost three years now, so screw 'em. I'm taking my stories back. Here's the plan: six parts, one for each year. I'll put the original first, if you want to read it, then the rewrite(s). A couple of them might have multiple rewrites. They definitely will be different, because my style has changed drastically. At least one of them will be barely recognizable from the original.

Before we get into it, a couple of warnings:
1. CRINGE- Most of these stories are so cringe, y'all 😂 Granted, I wrote them from the ages of 8-13, but still. Don't come at me, I know they're bad, especially the originals. You have the power and permission to skip 'em.
2. Religious mentions/themes- I mean, it was a private Christian school. Need I say more? Anyways, several of them had Christian morals or themes forced into them by my teachers. I think most of them are going to come out, but a couple of them are so tightly woven that removing them is harder.
3. Covers and illustrations: Y'all, do not come after my illustrations. Please. I suck at art. I know this. But they made us, so I tried.

If you're still here (and not my brother), congratulations! Here's a cookie. 🍪 Have fun reading, because I'm sure I'm going to have fun writing.
