Chatterbox: Inkwell

Hey guys!!! I'm

Hey guys!!! I'm kind of freaking out right now, because....THERE'S LESS THAN TWENTY DAYS UNTIL THE FINALS FOR MY WRITING COMPETITION, AND I AM ELIGIBLE FOR PLENTY OF AWARDS, BUT I'M KIND OF FREAKED OUT THE PROMPTS WON'T BE GOOD AND MY PEN WILL RUN OUT OF INK AND THAT I WON'T WRITE WELL!!!!!!!AAAAAAAAH!!!!!

Yell

  Kit Kat, I suggest you bring an extra new pen (or two) if that's allowed, so you won't have to worry about running out of ink. And I would think whoever prepares the prompts thinks about what to use for a long time to be sure they'll be great ones!

I think that you don't need to be nervous, you'll do fine. Ever since I read that story about the holocaust you wrote, I think you are the best writer on here. And I don't just say that sort of thing. By the way, what contest is it that you're entering?

How many people were there? I'm not really biased toward you - I don't know you well enough - and I can see, even from my non-biased position (except that you're obviously of a superior breed, having the sense to Chatterbox) that you're a good writer. And the exerpt you gave was pretty good, I thought. Here's a tissue, and don't feel bad about it. :( *commiserates wildly*

Um, like, 600 overrall, so in my grade level, ummm....probably 300? OOh, but exciting news! our team placed 14th out of 200 other schools!!!!!!! But still....116th place....and now tournament season's over, and i have to try out all over again for the team next year, and then i have to try to qualify for the writers on the team, (writers and backup) and then do good at districts so I can qualify for regionals, and hopefully qualify for state....all over again!!!!!!

*Handing over Kleenex* 116th isn't that bad, Kit Kat.

Ouu of 300? Hello, that's marvelous! You did better than more than half of the contestents! Don't feel bad, that's excellent! You should be really proud of yourself! :)Away with the tissues!
