The Story Siren: Blast from the Past (2)

Monday, November 2, 2009 at 5:00 PM

Last year I didn't participate in NaNoWriMo, so I shared some of my previous work with you. You can see the first Blast from the Past post.

I am participating in NaNoWriMo this year, but I still wanted to share this. Sharon, I think you'll especially like this one.

It's called My Cat My Family and I. Do you like the cover art?

This page one. It reads as follows:

My cat had babies.
My cat can walk.
My baby sister can walk, too.
I always do what my mom tells me to do.
Sometimes I play.

Isn't that a riot! My story goes on to say that I also have a rabbit and a dog, that I like to play with my baby sister and Dana (my next door neighbor) that I have a lot of cousins that are nice and I am nice too, and finally after I go home, I work. My dad and I plant the garden, we plant beans and fruit.

And of course it's beautifully illustrated as well!

This was from first grade, April 25, 1990.

Hope you enjoyed this year's blast from the past! And now I shall get back to NaNoWriMo.

alitareads said...: Complex sentences are so overrated. You should really go back to the basics for NaNoWriMo.

I love love love the illustrations. I'm looking at the large image of the cover page. Your hair is wonderful - how it's curly on top and then flies out on the sides. Very '90s. And wow are your dad's legs every long!; November 3, 2009 4:45 PM
celi.a said...: Ha! I like. My mom recently cleared out the closet under the stairs, and came up with a lot of material like that. I made her throw away my early writing attempts. :) Good luck with NaNo!; November 3, 2009 9:39 PM
