Writing

I guess writing is an art.....There's a thread for writers at the school forums about writing being a art, so I'm assuming it is. :P Anyway, I'm going to write about what I came to write about and stop lolly-gaggnin'. ;)

I sumbited a poem to a kid's magizine called Stone Soup. ( www.stonesoup.org ) They pay 40 dollars if they publish whatever you sent in, so spending 88 cents on postage is worth it if they publish it. I'm hoping it gets published......But the poem isn't very good, so I don't think that it will be. I have to wait 4-6 weeks to know if they're going to publish it or not. If they are, then they call you or something, and if they don't then whatever you sent in isn't going to be published.

D-Day

People crossing over to Normandy.

Saturday is D-Day. If any of you don't know what D-Day is it was when the allied troops landed at Normandy and won World War Two on June 6, 1944. That's the short version--the one without any cool details like who the commanding officer was or pictures of D-Day. Go put your nose into a D-Day history book, and you'll find out much more about it. But I did find some pictures on the internet of D-Day, so here they are. And yes, Esenhower did send photographers along. It makes writing the history books much easier if you have pictures and not just stories. Plus the serviviors probebly got copies of the pictures, so they could put them in the album and teach their two year olds all about WWII--including all the details that even high school text books leave out.

Paratroopers in a plane going there. (Wouldn't it be fun to jump out of a plane going very fast with all that stuff on and--if you're afraid of hights-- be afraid of forgeting to pull the string that made the parachute come out and lower you instead of dropping you?)
