Falling Down

what i'm feeling
is not regret.
what i'm choosing
is for the best.
i can't stand
to lie to your face.
i won't be
in another place.
but i gotta tell you.
the honest truth.
now.
i never loved you.
i might have liked you.
i never wanted to be this girl.
i never wanted to see you hurt.
but i saw your face.
falling down

Sasha Puppy

My Puppy
I used to be deathly afraid of all dogs. When I was very little I was playing at a park with my mom and sister, and I was just minding my own business doing what I did when I was tiny. When I turned around, there was a Great Dane right in my face. I was freaking out. Ever since then, I've been scared of dogs. It was as bad as every time I was going to a friends house I would make for sure that they would put their dogs away. What I did not know then was that soon my fear would be evolved.
Two years ago when I was in 6th grade, my mom picked me up from school on a Friday evening. We have been planning for months to get our puppy. So my mom and I were driving home and when we reached Greenhill, and getting ready to turn into our neighborhood, I saw our house. Then I just realized how scared, nervous, anxious, and excited I was to see my new best friend. I put my hand on the door know and took a deep breath. This could change everything. Seeing this dog could make everything in my life different. She was not there. I did not know where she was. I was literally running aroud the house like a freako and looking for her.
The window. I looked out the window, and I saw her. She was beautiful. Golden and perfect. Looking at her, I had no idea that she would be my best friend in the whole wide world. I could tell her all of my secrets and she would keep them tight in her heart. Until this day we remain sisters. I love her with everything I have, and she continues to love me back even when I ignore her or don't give her my love and attention to her, she never gets mad. Drama free... most of the time. In fact as I type this right now my girl is right at my side. And she always will be.

"Carolyn Keene"

I, Mildred A. Wirt, am here to write to you about my life so far. In case if you were wondering, I am Carolyn Keene, the author of the brilliant Nancy Drew series. I was not the only author for this writing though, so I can't take all of the credit. Harriet Addams was also writing for the same company and the same books. As you can guess that lead to tons of conflicts.

I was born on July 10, 1905. That is 24 years of doing a job I love to do. But there were also lots of hard times in the work force as an author as well. I was not alone and Mrs. Adams was always by my side, but we did not get along as well as we should.

The biggest conflict between her and me is that we have completely different styles of writing. We would always disagree on waht and who Nancy Drew should be and be known as. We had really two different perspectives of the image we wanted to show for her. But when Harriet died on March 27, 1982 she left something behind with her. The popularity and to be needed in writing.
To become instantly popular and people giving you writing assignments left to right can be very stressful. You have dead lines for when work needs to be completed, so you're being rushed all the time. But it all pays off in the end.

So we had our first Nancy Drew conference at Universtiy of JA. That was in 1933. It went pretty well. We talked about all of the success we had and what we should and could improve on. We got great reviews for our work to make Nancy a great hit. Writings of the 56 books of her were great! She is selling all over the world now.

But now that I am 96 years old, I am officially retired from the writing business. I loved writing for Edward and his company. And I was basically Nancy's Guradian Angle, always making for sure she solved the greatest mysteries and always caught the bad guy. I tried to make Nancy an intelligent, spirited, confident, and talkented young lady that would inspire tons of women around the world I want her to stay like that for as long as she is a living popularity in her life time.
