New Blogger

Hi....Okayyyy...this is kinda weird. Not that my mom has a blog written all about me and her, but that all of you readers know who I am but I don't know you. If you haven't guessed yet...(drum roll please)...I'm the one, the only, Grace!!! My mom calls me Grace on the blog, but people really call me GRACIE.

I told my mom the posts I like and the ones I didn't read:

Gracie: Mom, I read your blog.
Mom: Really? How much did you read?
Gracie: All of it.
Mom: Oh, wow. How long that take you?
Gracie: Not that long. It was really easy.
Mom: Did you read the comments too?
Gracie: Only some. I didn't read those "Daily...
Mom: "Weekly...
Gracie: Whatever. "WEEKLY Slug." I thought it looked boring.
Mom: Really. It's not.
Gracie: Yeah, but I already know the whole story and I live with Stella now.
Mom: Gracie, it's not just about that. It was how I was feeling too.
Gracie: Oh, well it looked to educational. I mean with the pictures and all.

I had to tell my mom my terms, though, if I were to write on the blog.
1) My wording is NOT edited. Only my spelling, etc. is edited.
2) My posts will be in my own font and color.

My mom is also like, "Gracie, you need to sound more mature when you post. You're audience is now adults." I don't know how to write to adults. This could be a problem.

My mom hasn't even posted yet that she told me! I guess she wanted me to post in my own time.

Some of my favorite posts:

And yet another cake fiasco
The Children's Day Caramel Cake; I actually LOVED this cake. Yes, it was really ugly, but it was soooooo good.

Being A Baby is Hard to Do
I told my mom that the last two photos make her look like a old man.

Handling the Boys
When I was writing that long made up story about why I couldn't meet him, I kept thinking in my head "I'm writing a frickin' novel!"

Handling the Boys Part II
I KNEW WHAT I WAS DOING!!! Plus, what was mom doing looking in my message box in the first place?!?!?!?!?

Hi Gracie!
I disagree with your Mom. I think you should write in your own voice... a smart, talented, 15 year old girl.

I look forward to whatever you decide to write.

Nice first post!

Hi Gracie! You sound like a great writer already (and don't tell your mom but I skipped some of the slug posts too). Hope we get to hear more from you.

I like your blog Gracie--I think you have found your calling-writing.

Gracie said...

Thanks for all the great feed back! I will have much more to come.

Angela- haha! Thanks! I don't feel as guilty for not reading the slug post now.

Melissa- Actually, I use to want to be an author, but now I think I'm going to be an actress.

Welcome Gracie.

PS Being an adult is totally overrated, enjoy every minute of being a teenager!

Hi Gracie,

It was nice to see some feedback from you. I look forward to reading more. Take Care!

Gracie - you go, girl! I wish you could meet my two daughters (17 and 13) - I think you all would get along great. The best personal writing advice ever? Write like you talk - which it sounds like you are doing right here. Authenticity is hard to find :)

Hey Gracie!

I was sent over by your mom, inadvertently. She stops at my pad, I stop at hers, you know the drill.

Anyway, she told me she's trying to get a 5K going and you're the main competition but you're not interested. I'm mostly an elliptical chick these days, but I used to run when my knees were younger.

And I'm proud to say I've run two of them. They're fun! They're only 3 miles (basically) and you're a shoe in to win.

What's the hold up woman? And then you get to go home and eat turkey. That's a win-win!

Have a happy Thanksgiving whatever you decide!
