<span style="font-size: small;">I was just searching through my documents and found this short story I had forgotten I had written. So I'm sharing it with you! Enjoy!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The
door was locked, and I couldn't find the key. Some strange,
mysterious person must have carried me while I was sleeping into this
dimly lit room, and locked the door on the outside. Of course on the
inside, there was a keyhole. And that darn key wouldn't show itself.
I'd been feeling all over the floor and had found nothing. All there
was in the room was a small wooden chair, a dark dresser, and a frail
cot. 'Not many places for a key to hide,' you may say. Well, </span>
</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">unfortunately
I discovered many wide cracks in the planked floor that the key may
have fallen through, and that fact made my level of hope drop down a
mile.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I
decided to look in the dresser drawers. I started at the top, and in
the first four drawers I found nothing but lint. But when I got to
the last drawer, I reached to the very back, and felt something
small! I wrapped my fingers around it, and pulled it out slowly. I
turned my head, and looked at what I had found. It was–- a baby
flashlight. Not quite what I was hoping for, but it could be useful.
I started looking in between the planks. I looked down into one of
the wide cracks, and shined the light from the tiny flashlight onto
what looked like metal. <i>'That's
funny,' </i><span style="font-style: normal;">I
thought. I pushed my fingers through the crack and pulled up on the
plank. A small, foot-long piece of it came out! There below was an
open tin box, and in that, was a tiny wooden chest. I opened it up,
and saw a little, decorated key. My heart started beating fast. I
stood up, walked over to the door, and inserted the key into the
keyhole. I turned it, opened the door, and heard, “APRIL FOOLS!” </span></span>

End</span></div>

Cafe Granita</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Condensation drips off of the clear plastic cup. You pick up the chilled vessel and put the straw between your lips. Drawing in the cold beverage, a sweet, yet robust flavor dances on your tongue. A smooth, velvety whipped cream mingles with the java concoction, and makes your taste buds shiver with excitement. You let the frosty drink go down with a smile from ear to ear. The mixture in the cup is so heavenly, it whispers in your ear to have more. Sip, sip, sip. Swallow. The napkin is soaked with condensation, and it's almost gone now. One more sip is left. You stare at the bottom of the cup, think that maybe you should save it for a bit later, ponder on the thought, then dismiss it from your mind and drink it anyway.<br />

So this is going to show you how to make a CCC (Comfy Casual Cover-up) made with just a large rectangle scarf! I've been wearing this over and over again because I love it so much. (By the way, I recommend getting a scarf with fringe; it really adds a nice touch to the finished product!)<br />

I had a lot on my mind about my siblings, myself, school, other people other than family, various controversies around the country and the world, and just my future life in general. I really needed a Godly pick-me-up, and so I pulled out my old <i>No Boys Allowed</i> devotions book from my dusty bookshelf. (Okay, my bookshelf is not dusty, I'm just trying to sound dramatic) I asked God to lead me to the best devotion for the time I was going through. I closed my eyes, held the paperback book in my hands, and opened it up. I let my eyes open, then looked at the title.<br />
Worry About Nothing. Pray About Everything.<br />
I felt amazing. I thanked God about ten times before I actually read the devotion. Here are some of my favorite parts from it:<br />
"You will find dozens of opportunities to worry every day, if you choose to. You may have personal troubles: your upcoming test, a sick parent, someone mad at you at school. You may worry about the state of the world: tragedies seen on TV, or a parent overseas in the military. Just remember: every opportunity to worry is also a chance to involve God in the matter. Since he's all powerful, what better person to be involved?"<br />
"Don't be worried, concerned, anxious, troubled, or uneasy about <i>anything</i>; instead, talk to God about <i>everything</i>. Tell God what you need - He wants you to - but don't forget to thank Him for what he has already done for you."<br />
I read the verse that it said to explore; Matthew 6:25. And the base verse; Philippians 4:6: Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done.<br />
Right then and there, I just overflowed all that was on my mind, and all that was worrying me to God. I also thanked him for all that He had done for me, being particular. It helped me remember that when you talk to God, you don't just need to focus on the big "important" stuff, i.e., sad thing: someone dying, happy thing: getting to go on a trip, etc. But you also need to focus on the little stuff, i.e., sad thing: not being able to talk to your friend, happy thing: having a clean room, etc. Because God works in everything. When I was talking to Him, it felt like talking to a best friend, spilling everything out, and not regretting or feeling guilty about anything you said.<br />
Worry about nothing. Pray about everything.<br />

Of course you do, everyone does. And that feeling is priceless. Walking into the kitchen in your "pajamas" ( I don't call them pajamas, I call them night clothes, but tomato, tomata, I don't really care) and have a wonderful breakfast of fluffy pancakes and juicy sausage. Well, I'm going to show you how to cook these delicious things right now. Once again, tie back your hair, and grab your aprons!<br />
(By the way, we doubled the recipe, because we have a family of six, but you can probably pull off the regular recipe)<br />

1/2 teaspoon salt<br />
1 tablespoon sugar<br />
1 tablespoon baking powder<br />

Make sure your berries are just simmering, not boiling. Don't they look just absolutely delicious? Well don't eat them.</div>

Now cut the dough in half, and roll both halves out, thin and oblong.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now pick it up (GENTLY) and lay it on one half of the pan, with one side hanging out, like so. Do so with both halves. And the good thing about cobblers is that they don't have to be perfect. So just let it do what it wants to do.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Now it's time to......pour in the berries! Oh, it's so fun. Just SO fun. It will splatter, so pour them in slowly, or else....well, let's just hope you wanted your kitchen painted purple.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This step is optional, but I think it makes it all the better. Put small pats of butter all over the berries.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Now fold over the halves that were hanging out. Remember, it doesn't have to be perfect! So if it tears, parts sink, it gets scrunched up, just let it be! It will make it look yummy.</div>

Well, last night I realized that the next morning was Sunday morning, so I wanted to make something fun for the family. My mom told me I could go ahead and mix up the batter last night, so I could just bake it in the morning. So the first DIY recipe is........Sour Cream Coffee Cake! It can be eaten as breakfast, which I'm doing, or dessert! Which I also might be doing. So get your aprons on, tie back your hair and let's get started!<br />

The recipe called for two sticks of butter, but since I'm attempting to make it as non-fattening as possible.....<br />

So first, put the butter and 2 cups of sugar into your mixer or a bowl and pastry cutter. See the butter peeking out?<br />

Now get two eggs. You DON'T have to use brown eggs! I just used them to make myself feel sophisticated.<br />

Then get a cup of sour cream, dump it into the mixer and set it on low while you scrounge for your vanilla extract. Add 1 tsp.<br />

Now dump 2 cups of all-purpose flour into a mixing bowl, and a tsp. of baking powder plus a tsp. of salt. I felt the need to show you my cute measuring spoon.<br />

<br />
Set the mixer on low and gradually pour in the flour mixture until it looks somewhat like this.<br />
<br />
Now let's get started on the filling!<br />
<br />

<br />
Here are the cute little 4 tablespoons of brown sugar. (I just used my flour bowl again)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
And add 2 tsp. of ground cinnamon. Get a fork and break up the brown sugar, and stir in the cinnamon.<br />
<br />

<br />
Here are the two bowls waiting for the morning.<br />
<br />
So I put the bowls in the fridge, and as soon as I woke up this morning, I went straight to the refrigerator and got my precious little bowls that had been waiting patiently while I got six hours of sleep.<br />
<br />
OK, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.<br />
<br />

<br />
Get out your Bundt pan, and grease it like nobody's business. If you want the cake to come out in one piece, you better make sure that pan is good and greased.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Sprinkle flour into the pan to anti-stick it even more. Did that make sense? And put half of the batter into the pan.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZIBUcrFy0mvHrhVx4JTqqJso2j3BraFzX9cfmox0JVCMe7WVLGWClbnbQBqD5mAk4OYrgacSOk7giZFoMv_xQ30XPqLMEGm5041p_x4sZuYl3VDFqG0WecHXwuvEULLHVywntNsm03W4/s1600/DSC09491.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZIBUcrFy0mvHrhVx4JTqqJso2j3BraFzX9cfmox0JVCMe7WVLGWClbnbQBqD5mAk4OYrgacSOk7giZFoMv_xQ30XPqLMEGm5041p_x4sZuYl3VDFqG0WecHXwuvEULLHVywntNsm03W4/s320/DSC09491.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Sprinkle half of the filling over the batter. Since I put my batter in the refridgerator, it got kind of doughy, so yours will most likely look more like batter.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC27976D4XSQgHT08A4SBXCWOzKEqx_hBQ8BNUgK_zJR_b27zdPAo1cTDl_jnEzVU0WVH2dF6mWBTgobsD9YU1BDiPb0u312jLbKAoutA8LrWH1ktkF5Qh_dlYD8SJr5nvfdxWq35AxWI/s1600/DSC09494.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC27976D4XSQgHT08A4SBXCWOzKEqx_hBQ8BNUgK_zJR_b27zdPAo1cTDl_jnEzVU0WVH2dF6mWBTgobsD9YU1BDiPb0u312jLbKAoutA8LrWH1ktkF5Qh_dlYD8SJr5nvfdxWq35AxWI/s320/DSC09494.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Spread the rest of the batter over it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDhzOw8LuGUHwo9C4UXMNWCmOT3rPt96Hz-adb14lYHsIr5cvfpFlcOKh6t8Br10uvXllmmePC2J88JnF_sDFSuokEk8Tqk3-IfvNuZ9RJIl5oFwV-RuxQIMvkjwySCCvokO1drpFEzX8/s1600/DSC09498.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDhzOw8LuGUHwo9C4UXMNWCmOT3rPt96Hz-adb14lYHsIr5cvfpFlcOKh6t8Br10uvXllmmePC2J88JnF_sDFSuokEk8Tqk3-IfvNuZ9RJIl5oFwV-RuxQIMvkjwySCCvokO1drpFEzX8/s320/DSC09498.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
And sprinkle the rest of the filling on top.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitqIz99b5BZTuCzQqJNN4_jBKewSiGQTzazPHMWGQOiTZM0JOEIQ8dDkOHJfwWsrs9dTkbSuigTjduVCdca7Eo79yMa4KVXSLH7h_VB9c1z94Op6komUEgLFyg45Ewyz-dk1h7SIt8vJw/s1600/DSC09499.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitqIz99b5BZTuCzQqJNN4_jBKewSiGQTzazPHMWGQOiTZM0JOEIQ8dDkOHJfwWsrs9dTkbSuigTjduVCdca7Eo79yMa4KVXSLH7h_VB9c1z94Op6komUEgLFyg45Ewyz-dk1h7SIt8vJw/s320/DSC09499.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
And put your cake in the oven for 55-60 minutes.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisbhpaAbAQ6G0S-bJ5lErjYdu9QTVdj-8CnBy-1hfii0rMJTsKK65FfL9pO8EDIc4xBSuOaany9OiTZYKsh4LuFyDdhHCPO3StOo9g2LUts36nCXkrPRXAVpdxgJzmaRwQ7q5B3ljoof4/s1600/DSC09501.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisbhpaAbAQ6G0S-bJ5lErjYdu9QTVdj-8CnBy-1hfii0rMJTsKK65FfL9pO8EDIc4xBSuOaany9OiTZYKsh4LuFyDdhHCPO3StOo9g2LUts36nCXkrPRXAVpdxgJzmaRwQ7q5B3ljoof4/s320/DSC09501.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
When the timer goes off, take it out and see if a knife sticks in the highest part and comes out clean. If it does, you're ready to flip!<br />
<br />
Go around the sides and around the middle of the pan to loosen the cake. Lay a cooling rack upside down on the pan, then grab both the pan and rack, and flip it over! Pick it up and put it down a couple of times to make the cake fall out. Lift up one side and see if you can see cake. If you can, lift off the pan.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV8HSRxIeOh5ciDXZv8SDECNe4QmccXXl45TPIMAsI9ufSpHEXwG6tTFTBoCep_cNApAYrqPEzScZmZlfSBeG8nXF_p2yCmY9lXIZeX0W_U0KoPneN4OUlBQPnCg__9WJvxGJsrLfmLfA/s1600/DSC09502.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV8HSRxIeOh5ciDXZv8SDECNe4QmccXXl45TPIMAsI9ufSpHEXwG6tTFTBoCep_cNApAYrqPEzScZmZlfSBeG8nXF_p2yCmY9lXIZeX0W_U0KoPneN4OUlBQPnCg__9WJvxGJsrLfmLfA/s320/DSC09502.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Yay! If any part of the cake doesn't come out, just get it out of the pan and put it in the correct place on the cake. No one will know. I actually had to put a little piece that didn't come out on top, if you can't tell.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
With a bread knife, or any other sharp knife, cut the cake very delicately so it doesn't fall apart. Serve warm with fresh fruit if you want to.<br />
<br />
Alrighty, hope you enjoyed it! I sure did, in both the making, the eating, and the posting. Let me know if you try it out!

It is definitely one of my favorite things. My blog has been pretty boring, (at least I think so) so I'm going to spice things up a little. With ZATARAIN'S! If you do not know what Zatarain's is, Google it. The top result should be "ZATARAIN"S - A New Orleans Tradition since 1889". But back to the point. I'm going to cook different recipes, either old classic family recipes, or just some new ones I found. And I'm going to take pictures of them to make them look ever more delicious. I am looking forward to this so much. I hope I will gain attention and have fun at the same time. Which I believe I will. See you on the first DIY recipe! I can't wait!<br />
<br />
P.S. Don't be afraid to try out the recipes! That's one of the main points of this idea!

I haven't written in a while! How has time gone by so quickly? That was a rhetorical question, by the way. Because no one knows the answer.....well, I might as well catch up. I performed at the Strawberry Jam 'n' Toast to the Arts Festival ( <a href="http://www.strawberryjam.org/">http://www.strawberryjam.org/</a>) on the 17th! We (my theater group, The Octavians: <a href="http://www.theoctavians.com/">http://www.theoctavians.com/</a> ) performed The Tortoise and the Hare. It was really fun! I was a rat.<br />
Next thing, Casey came home for her Spring Break! The 10th - 18th, but the last two days she was in Shreveport, LA looking at housing for when she goes there for Med school! I'm so proud of her!<br />
Next, I'm performing Puss in Boots (with the same theater group) in a week for all of the parents, and we're also performing a dance showcase that we have been rehearsing in Movement Workshops. It's going to be really fun, and we're dancing to Michael Buble!<br />
Next, my sister Erin has been trying out face painting ideas for a block party on me, so that kids can see what they look like. Here are the ones that she's done so far.<br />

That''s a song I just finished listening to, done by BarlowGirl today. Do you know what you're supposed to go tell on the mountain? If you don't.....well, I guess it's about time you did. Let me finish that song line for you.<br />
<i>'Go tell it on the mountain, that Jesus Christ is born!'</i><br />
<i> </i>Did you pick that up? Jesus is born! Praise God with song and dancing! Joy to the world! Worship the Lord! Exalt Him! Go tell it on the mountain! (Over the hills, and everywhere) Celebrate the birth of His Son! I don't know if you feel like celebrating and having a party, but I sure do. That's why we celebrate Christmas! We're celebrating the birth of God's son, Jesus! And we give gifts to each other because Jesus was God's gift to us. But the Santa bringing presents to boys and girls and buying the most expensive gifts thing took over, so some people forget that we're actually celebrating the gift of Jesus. The thing that confuses me, though, is that Santa only brings presents to girls and boys who have been good this year, but Jesus came for <i>everyone </i>in the world, not only the ones who were good that year. So tomorrow and the day after that, and all the days of your life, remember what the reason of Christmas is, and let everyone know about it.<br />
Have a wonderful Christmas! God bless you all!<br />

No, really. Guess. Well, I'll just tell you anyway! It's fall! We got our first cold snap on my birthday! I'm thinking of it as a birthday present from God. Isn't He sweet. We normally don't get fall colors on the trees until the end of November, but this time we got it late October!</span> A cold front has just come through, so right now the highs are in the 70's, and tonight it's going to be 45 degrees! The new weather has made everyone happier since it came. I know that it is a blessing from God, and that He is the only one we should thank. Speaking of thanking, isn't Thanksgiving coming up?Ally Hollowayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08471106064451427343noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025153759907822058.post-19184684463802802412011-10-17T19:50:00.000-07:002012-02-02T19:05:47.135-08:00Hmmm....<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Well, it's 9:35 PM on a Monday night, awaiting the time of sleep. Sitting at a bright-screened monitor. Writing. So, there must be something I'm writing about, if I didn't want to waste a post. But maybe I did. Maybe I DID want to waste a post. Maybe I wanted to to just type random words, wasting post after post, word after word, letter after letter, keystroke after keystroke. But what's the matter with writing for no apparent reason? There's no law against it. It's not forbidden. It's a free country, isn't it? Who says I can't? Nobody in this country says that a ten-year-old girl named Ally can't write just because she wants to. Maybe I wanted to waste a post! Maybe I didn't even know what was I writing about! Maybe I wanted to just write about something totally random! Well, truth is, I didn't. What I <b>really</b> wanted to tell you about is..........I'm going to be eleven in two days! Yay! Woo-hoo! ....... Well, while that thought is resting on your brain, I'm going to get some ZZZZzzz's.Ally Hollowayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08471106064451427343noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025153759907822058.post-21729796310036256022011-09-27T06:06:00.002-07:002012-02-02T19:02:07.095-08:00New Kitten!Three days ago, on our way home from theater rehearsal, we heard a mewing kitten while our car was stopped. My older sister, Erin, went across the street and coaxed a small, black kitten out from behind a garbage can. She picked him up and brought him to the car. He didn't even fight her to try to get down, he just sat there against her neck, and my mom said to 'Get in the car with the cat'. She brought him inside, and we brought him home. We set out a food and water bowl, and he ate a piece of food, then crawled under our school table. He slept, and the next morning he was out and about! Even though he has a hurt leg, he still plays and runs like a normal kitten. His name is Skittles.Ally Hollowayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08471106064451427343noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025153759907822058.post-81839869944172213982011-09-18T14:15:00.000-07:002012-02-02T19:01:27.320-08:00You Can Always Turn to God<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Psalm 18:2 The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; My God, my rock,
in whom I will take refuge; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, my
high tower.<br />
This is a verse that I saw on my Psalm for the Day gadget on my blog. It reminded me of how we can always go to God when we are fearful, sad, angry, or even happy and want to thank Him. He will never leave, never disappear, never stop loving us, and never turn His back on us. He is one amazing, praiseworthy, awesome, powerful, and loving God.<br />
Just wanted to share that. <br />

The big blue.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sun rises.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Good morning, ocean.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fog covers the water like a blanket.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Small, lapping waves wet the shore.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A light breeze starts to blow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sound of calling seagulls.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wind makes waves a little bigger.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Good afternoon, ocean.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Millions of creatures, big and small</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Living just beneath the surface.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tiny, silvery minnows dwell in shallow water.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Enormous sharks abide in the depths.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cool off your feet in the icy water.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Feel squishy, cold sand through your toes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Good evening, ocean.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sunlight dances upon the water.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everything in sight has a golden glow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step out of the ocean world.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Enjoy the beauties that God has created.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Including the big blue.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Goodnight, ocean.</div>

Had a great team who worked hard even in the heat! (Which was, all day, 98 degrees to 101 degrees)Our team consisted of: Melinda Holloway (Mom), Herb Holloway (Dad), Casey Holloway (sister), Erin Holloway (sister), Tony Trinh, Erica St. Germain, and William Schmidt. Look at Mom's (Melinda Holloway's) Facebook page to see all of the pictures! I felt we had shined the light of Jesus and touched many hearts. And thank you God for putting these amazing people in my life: Tony Trinh, Erica St. Germain, William Schmidt, Nelda Thompson, Jim Thompson, and Harry Ensley. I'm glad to be home, but I would do it all over again tomorrow. :)Ally Hollowayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08471106064451427343noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025153759907822058.post-70220787030554597752011-07-22T09:01:00.000-07:002011-09-18T14:18:37.115-07:00Yep. You've All Had ItWriters Block. (And yes, I do have to capitalize it to make it sound more intimidating.)I know all you writers have had it at least twice in your life. The time where you know what you want to say, you just don't know what you want to say. All you writers will probably say, "Pish-posh, what are you talking about? I always know what I want to say." But it's OK if you've had writers block because everyone has had it at least twice in their life. (I know I just said that, but I wanted to make sure no one missed it.) So whether you're writing a book, a paper, a story, or any kind of word assembly, you can always remember, uh, you can always remember, always rememmer...Well, just don't let it get you down when you have writers block, K?
