Today is one of those days I want to blog about something else besides sled dogs. I want to blog about a school wide spelling bee. It was Friday at 1:15. I went down at 1:00 to learn the rules. After that we sat down in our seat numbers. Then our classes came in the cafeteria, which is what we were in. Everyone spelled their word right in the first round. Then came the second round. I got the word "clever". I said,"Clever. C-l-e-v-. Then I said 'e' really quickly and then '-r'. Clever." I got the word wrong. I felt confused and sad. I guess they didn't hear the "e". But it was a good experience to get into the spelling bee. I learned something from it too, to slow down when spelling.
Even though I lost, it was one of the best days of my life. I got a certificate for being class spelling bee champion. And I'm champ of the house. I've beaten Dad. Mom's too scared to try. Her excuse is she's the judge.

| Hoover entertaining himself |
We've lost all of our snow and it's turned into mud so when Hoover comes in we have to wipe his paws. He is also depressed with no snow to play in. He spends more time in the house. It doesn't make a difference to Nikita.
I saved a crayfish from certain death tonight. My dad put it in a puddle and I watched him for about 5 minutes. I got bored and lost him.
I'm working on a book. Once I read "The Hobbit" I got inspired to write my own fantasy. The working title is "Five Dwarves". It's about five dwarves who are trying to help save their land by looking for a lost army. They must save their land from the dark lord who has made alliances with unearthly creatures (like a dragon) to take over their world. I have a question, does anyone know a publisher or how to publish a book?

You weren't a loser for you were the winner from your class. Am I right? Soof and Joli say a big YUK to this weather. We want more snow. I used AuthorHouse to publish my book. They are local and I visited with many questions before deciding to publish with them. I am very happy I decided to go with AuthorHouse!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on being class spelling champion, Ian! We need to wipe our cats' paws, too! - Lisa
ReplyDeleteWhen you have finished books, we'll talk, ok? AuthorHouse is a good place to start, but if you want to submit to larger publishers like Random House and Simon & Schuster, you'll need an agent.
ReplyDeleteUntil then, keep studying your vocabulary and practice spelling with a steady rhythm so you can kick butt next year! Whoo!
