@nonfiction Actually it was not an asteroid or meteorite but a comet. Haley's Comet to be exact. I had a first grade picture in 1986 of that. That's the memory... it was a class field trip.

@nonfiction I can only verify that this family reunion happened throught a picture. I was probably 3 yrs old and my parents had a barbeque/picnic with my late paternal relatives. In the picture, it must have been in Rio Vsta or San Francisco, but either way it was all done in California. My aunt and uncle have now passed away, my older cousin died of a heart attack and my other cousins have moved away. We barely have family reunions anymore since either relatives passed away or they live so far away. But all you can do is cherish the memories!

@nonfiction Funny thing, I'm writing a little picnic scene right now. Um, I guess, when I was little, my family would go to a lake with my grandpa, and we'd sit at the picnic tables and eat and talk and go jump in the lake and back again, and it was just a lot of fun. :)

@nonfiction my take on #QuestionOfTheWeek -- how could you make this improved upon work more with those who have visuals ready to go and want to send them along; ie draw from lesser known sources for #WattPadLongreads

Wattpadders!
We are revamping our reading lists! To help us facilitate that, we will be closing our story submission forms for a short while as we set up our new lists. As soon as those forms are open again for story submissions we will let you know. We will also notify you when our guidebook has been updated with our new reading list submission guidelines.
The purpose of the revamp is to enable us to build an extensive library that will allow readers to fully immerse themselves in al the Non-Fiction genre has to offer here on Wattpad, and showcase even more amazing writers and their stories.
Thanks for your patience while we get this all sorted out.
