Dear Jess,

In the next 25 days I will be writing a 50,000 word novel.




It’s the month of November which means for my sister and I, NaNoWriMo! (aka: National Novel Writing Month) This also means another achieved 50, 000 words for my sis…and most likely a feeble attempt from me. For the past couple of years I’ve tried at the competition…and failed miserably. This year I was determined to finish on time but its 5 days into the competition and I still haven’t written a single word! Okay, I’m not giving myself enough credit here; I’ve written approximately 68 words. So this will be my time consuming goal this month. I desperately hope that no more crazy projects will come up in school so I can accomplish it!

On a different note, I am in love with Fall. The other day my sister, my mom, and I went to Snohomish; a town that is the epitome of all things Fall. There we tried on a variety of things…


…like this adorable vintage headband, that was way to small for my head!…


…and another quite vintage pair of glasses.


The stores there are all incredible; vintage, antique, boutique, everything! My favorite part of Snohomish visits is The Pie Shop.




My favorite is always and forever, apple pie.


After we left the town to head home we stopped off at a small vegetable market at a farm with star shaped squash and amazing freshly grown corn. I loved it all!

I’m changing the subject yet again; my head is so full of random thoughts that I can’t even make sufficient transitions to the next one! This subject is not as happy as the others. In fact, it caused a shed tear or two earlier today. I’ve found out that on the premiere of the play is the day that my sister goes off to college. I have two options now. Either go see my sister off to college, and most likely be kicked out of the play. Or stick with the play and miss my sister going to college; the last chance I’ll have to be with her before she's a college girl. My sister is closer to me than anyone else, and I love her so much that there’s no way I’m missing this…but the play is something I’ve always wanted to do! I feel like there’s no way out of this situation but its 2 months away right now…hopefully luck will be on my side and something will happen to allow me both experiences…

Love forever,
Sam

P.S.
I’m convinced that you, Jessica, will be the new Dr. Seuss with those mad poetry skills!
