Calling All Writers!!

So, I am applying to be on Timpview's writing staff for the school newspaper The Thunderbolt. We have to fill out a pretty big application (which I've done). My one problem is the last thing on the list. I need to write a legit article and turn it in. My problem isn't the writing part, no, I have no idea what to write about! I need your suggestions. Anything would help! Thank you!

Cuss Free Week

It's official! Time to duct-tape those mouths, and keep the profanity to the minimum! Cuss free week is March 1-7! If any of you have read the New Era, (not sure which one) a 14 year old boy named Mckay Hatch started a No Cussing Club. To read about all of his amazing feats, click

Another Poem...

So, today we had another free write in English. Remember the last one? It inspired The Dragon and the Knight? Well, here comes another. . . I will admit it's kind of strange and I don't really get it, but, what can I say?

Dreaming

Dreams to me, are like Fairytales,
Where nothing can't be done.
Laying your head on the pillow mean the adventure's just begun!

The world is swirling around you,
From darkness into light,
And suddenly you're someone else but, to you it feels alright!

Then you're lost in a world of colors,
Where nothing has to be real.
And all that matters is what you're seeing and what you really feel.

There's a fantasy around you,
Like you're acting a part in a play,
And nothing will ever seem different, until you wake up the next day.

The Dream that had once been vivid,
That was vibrant and great to behold,
Now slowly slips from your memory, never again to be told.

The Kane Chronicles

Rick Riordan, the author of The Lightning Thief is coming out with a new series! No, it has nothing to do with Percy Jackson. Although, he is writing another series in relation to that also, which is coming out late this year. In the meantime, The Kane Chronicles. Apparently, Rick’s new series is about two siblings, Carter and Sadie Kane battling Ancient Egyptian gods in the modern world, will launch May 4, 2010 with the first book: The Red Pyramid. Not Greek gods, Egyptian. Interesting. I wonder what they will be like? If you want to read the first chapter of the book, click Here.

Movie Review

I really enjoyed The Lightning Thief! The movie was very good with amazing special effects. However, some of the plot was completely different. I don't want to give away too much, in case you haven't read the book, but some of the characters reasons for doing things, were way off! It really affected the movie. It was a great movie though, really funny. The actors were great! I loved Logan Learman (Percy). Grover was really funny but Annabeth should have been blond. I personally think that they should have developed Luke's character more though. I understood him because I had read the book, but I don't understand how others would have. . . Over all, I loved it. I'm not too disappointing. There are somethings that I can gladly overlook, but some I just can't. . .
