This will be my best or favorite work from each month. Most of these people you do not know. Warning before last year I had never written anything over a hundred words long. so some of it is rather choppy.

Elvings away version one
“Alright
Jack, Bye till later. Will we see you in the gym?” Rayoak asked.
“NO.”
Tom said “Jack is not aloud anywhere near sharp objects.”
“Why?”
“Because, he either breaks the sharp object or
himself. He is the only person I have ever met, that can, with out fail, take the hilt off the blade
of a sword.” Peter said coming up behind them.

Elvings Away! V 1
“If
you want to come into the library you brave knights then you have to solve our
riddle.” Elsie said with her hands on her hips. Elise nodded.
“Oh,
alright,” Rayelm said crossing his arms.
“Would
you like to buy some furniture?” Elise piped up before Elsie could stop her.
“Elise,
first of all, that is not the question we were going to ask, second THAT is not
a riddle.”
“It
isn’t… Then which riddle were we going to do?”
“What
have I got in my pockets?” Elsie stated profoundly.
Elise
looked at her twin for a few seconds confused “But we do not have any pockets?”
she said bewildered.
“Let
me think of a new riddle since you ruined the first… oh I know. Twenty white
horses upon a red hill first the stomp, then chomp, then they stand still.”
March:
The Easter Story: (Easter play)
Felipe: Why did they want to hurt Jesus for telling that story?
Caleb: The same reason people today do not want to hear it, it hurts.
Micah: Why does it hurt? It is just a story.
Vannah: Because it convicts them of their sin and they do not like that.

Elvings Away V 1
“Daddy!” Elsie and Elise
exclaimed, forgetting protocol and running up to clutch their father.
“Hey Daddy,” Elise continued
“Daniel had been hanging out with a GIRL!”
“You mean his sister?”
“NO Daddy, a red head.”
Elm glanced over at Rose who was overly
pretending NOT to hear this conversation.
“I see.” King Theodoric said.
“Daniel, may I inquire to the name of this girl you have been hanging out
with?”
Daniel glanced at Rose, “Uhhh…
um…”
“Her name is Rose Blossom
Eaglewing.” Elise said.
“ELISE!” Daniel said.
Rose’s cheeks turned bright red.
King Theodoric glanced around the
room his eyes falling on Rose. He looked back at Daniel. “Is that the girl you
have been hanging out with?”
“I have not been hanging out with her we just have been
chatting off and on that is all.” Daniel said trying to save face.
Titters went around the room.
“Honey,” Queen Leigh said laying
her hand on his shoulder. “Stop giving them a hard time in public you know he
will deny everything out here.”
The king nodded. “You are right
again Leigh,”
“Don’t worry about it Dad,
everybody knows that he likes her.” Elise said
“Yeah,” said Elsie, “He did not
dance with anybody else at the New Year Ball.”
Just then Apple appeared as if
out of no where standing on her tiptoes in front of Elsie. “How Dare You Tease
MY SISTER!” she spat.
“I wasn't teasing your sister,”
Elsie said coolly, “I was teasing my brother.”
“And in the process, you’re
teasing MY sister.”
“An unavoidable casualty of war.” Elsie
said nonchalantly.
By this time the majority of the
Kateers were no longer tittering, they were laughing.
Peter shook his head trying
himself not the join in the mirth, “So much for protocol.”
MAY:
Elvings Away V1
“ROSE,” Ma called. “We are
leaving, are you coming or not?”
“Coming Ma,” Rose called, she smiled up at him. “Goodbye Daniel, I will see you later.”
Daniel bowed and kissed Rose’s
hand.
Rose quickly covered her face to hide her
blush. Then she walked quickly back to her family Turning she waved her hanky
before the Transporter beam took them back to the ship.
With that I finished the book and threw into the virtual drawer and only JUST looked at it again. If you want to read it in it's entirety and tell me what is salvageable for Version 2 Send me an Email (look in FAQ)
June:
Earthward bound
Elm could feel a small fist
hitting him in the face.
“Ayem! FFF BIRE!” she said
exasperated. She shrugged then when over to Rayoak’s bed on the other side of
the room. “R-R-R-Ayoak!” she hollered in his ear.
Oak was instantly awake. There had
only been one other time Kathie had ever come in there room at this time in the
morning, and that had been only a few months ago when Kathie had run away from
her nurse to show them that she had finally learned how to fly.”
July:
Earthward Bound
Kathie glanced around the room.
She smiled as she saw the big brown chest with pink and blue flowers on it that
held her, and her twin’s stuff. She jumped of the pile of hay spinning in the
air and landing firmly on her feet facing the chest then skipped over to it and
dialed the code on the lock of the chest that she supposedly did not know then
lifted the lid and pulled out a change of clothes, her towel, a wash rag, and
her swim suit. She pulled off her night gown and threw it in the trunk. Then,
folding her wings with the removed objects she then pulled on her swimsuit
grabbed her sandals and slipped quietly out the back entrance. She glanced
around to make sure she would not be caught then after closing and locking back
the trunk, slipped to the small pool next to the river. After setting her stuff
on a near by rock she went to a tallish brown and green plant with large white
and blue flowers and brown seedpods growing in the edge of the pool. Taking one
of the seedpods from a stalk she went over to a rock and squatting down she
commenced to bang it with another rock to try to break it open.
“Lady Kathwren,” Elm said coming
up behind her.
Kathie, startled lost her balance
and fell into the water.
Elm, dropping his bundle, reached
in and pulled her out. “Kathie, don’t you think you should ask before you go
swimming?”
Kathie just stared at him, “You
was not supposed to know!” she said rather distraught “I wanted to do it all
by my self.”

Jump-and-Fetch-It
My Dearest Cousin Emma,
8/22/6730
I hope this letter finds you and
Roger in good health and fine spirits, and if not I hope this letter shalt put
you both in such a state of mind.
I am settling nicely into my job
here at the Draicy Hospital here
on Shaima. My stuff is finally organized into the cabin I have been given and
my office at the hospital is fully put together and organized.
I am also happy to announce that I finally
feeling at home among the Shatians. It will be a while before I understand
them; they are so quiet when it comes to their culture. I have yet to meet one
who is willing to discuss their family, friends, home or anything else private.
For them it is strictly business. “Sigh” Sometimes it is hard being one of the
first to work with a new culture.
Here we have had a trade
agreement for eighty-three years, and yet I am the first Person to be aloud to
live on planet. This is both scary as well as exiting.
I know what you are going to say,
(and Please don’t say it.) I did know what I was getting into but I did not
think it would be this hard to get them to talk.
On a brighter note; remember when
we were children we used to wonder if there were any Pure Helicras left in the
universe. Wondered what it would be like to meet on face to face. Wonder how
they thought and felt. Well if I am not mistaken I have had the opportunity to
do just that.
I went down to the Governors office yesterday
to ask a few questions and when I got there I felt as though… Oh, you know the
feeling we get when we can since someone sensing us. I spun about and there,
sitting on a bench just outside the office door was the palest girl I have ever
seen! As you know the Shatians are a very dark people. I was quite taken aback
at the sight of a girl so pale among a row of people so dark.
Well to make a long story short,
she was there to get a job so I hired her. She is now my jump-and-fetch-it and
doing a marvelous job.
She really isn’t talking much (As
if that should surprise me since no one else is either) I know she lives with a
elderly woman that she calls Nonny (which I have come to find out means
Grandmother) and she is around seven. Nobody is quite sure how old she is for
she was dropped off at the Orphanage when she was but a baby. And Nonny adopted
her and her brother five years later. Her name is Ashlene and other than that I
can’t get any information out of her. She is a defiantly well known among the
natives (Although with her complexion, that’s not hard.)
I shall
keep you informed.
Your Cousin
Dr. Edger
October
Jump-and-fetch-it
The next day dawned bright and fair.
Nonny always had to be at work long before Ashlene and her brother, Evander
woke up and it was their tradition that after they had had breakfast but before
they both had to go to work, to go out to the fields just outside the smelly
city and play in the lush green meadows.
This is where they were at this
point. Neither child wore shoes as the frisked about in the warm sun among the
colorful flowers.
They finally, after much frolic,
they clasped in a heap on the soft grass. It was if they belonged here, out
among the flowers, trees, grass, and animals of the between land.
No Shatian would dream of going
in the between land.

Led by the DOVE
Then with a squeal of delight the
girls discovered their prize, The hound had had puppies, and they played before
their eyes.
Nelly was as surprised as Kath, for
the pups were quite old. Her parents must have known but she hadn’t been told.
They played with the dogs for a
long time till Aleashta did announce, I have talked to your parents, and you
may take one home if you want.
Girls squealed with
excitement. It had been such a marvelous
day! They had had quite an adventure and it was grand to end this day.
So with a flute on her back and a
dog in her arms Kath walked to the shuttle.
“May I ask” Said her friend, “What
is the name of this friend?”
Kath thought for a moment then
with a grin so wide. “Treasure, for that’s what he is. Now what is your
friend’s name?”
“Black Beard,” Said she with a
giggle that hauled Kath in her tracks.
Nelly shook her head in wonderment
and promised to send her the tale. Then Kath climbed in the shuttle to go to
her home once again.
December
Akeaka
Bump…. Bump…Thump ….
Udiah sat up some time later; her
head felt like a pack of monkeys was jumping up and down inside her skull.
“Are you alright Udiah?”
Udiah placed a hand over her
eyes, trying to focus on Zelphie. At least they had some light, which was an
improvement. The headache was not.
Udiah Closed here eyes to call
upon the Helicra gift of healing but before she could initiate it, a bunch of solders
marched in.
The children were rudely hoisted
to their feet and marched out. Now in the daylight Udiah could see the cuts and
bruises that adorned every one of them. She was surprised herself to see them on
her own body. How’d she miss feeling that?
She was still trying to puzzle it out when they were
lined up and a huge man appeared and started walking up and down the line
studying each child’s face in turn. When he came to her, she couldn’t help
thinking of him as a bear, a big grizzly bear.
And so ended my year, Kendra helped me throughout the year and I blame anything good on her. ;D
I have gained in both spelling, and grammar skills this year and I hope that this year I can write something that actually makes sense. and isn't boggy.
