Superbowl Sunday Means...
...That I have no time to write, but enough time in the world to worry about next Saturday since my last meeting before the comp is tomorrow...You have no idea what the heck I'm talking about, do you? Well, I'm talking about POP or Power Of the Pen. I have my first competition ever Saturday, and our last meeting before that one is tomorrow. I don't think you understand how scary it is for someone who has NEVER even entered a writing comp before to be thrown into a whirlwind of ridiculousness. And I have no idea what to write, nor do I have time to write. Sigh...SO, vote on my poll, it ends Tuesday.
And I'm going to be deaf by the end of this game. (My mom's a passionate steelers fan...If your watching the game, you see my problem.)

My Speech About Conjunctions
So, this is the speech I gave one of my friends about Conjunctions. It's not very long or detailed, but it's something:
Conjunctions do exactly what they are names. They conjoin. It may be two subjects, two independent clauses, two predicates, an independent clause and a dependent clause. The dictionary definition is as follows: "any member of a small class of words distinguished in many languages by their function as connectors between words, phrases, clauses, or sentences, as and, because, but, however."
Obviously, there are groups that each one goes into. The FANBOYS are the cordinating conjunctions, there are subordinating conjunctions (because, while, since, although, unless, as, if, the ones that don't fit into the other two catergories but they do still conjoin), and then there are correlative conjunctions (they come in pair and ALWAYS do: neither...nor, either...or, whether...or, both...and, not only...but also)
So, yeah, there you go...I have to thank my HLA teacher for teaching me this. Or else I wouldn't be able to do this now.

So, today I read a blog...
That I have been following, and she said that querying young was a bad idea...I don't agree with this. I mean, it probably isn't the best idea, but I know I'm going to do it anyways. Mostly because I have thousands (not literally, their would be no point if I had thousands...) of beta readers in the palm of my hand able and completely willing to suggest things and make it real.
Am I saying you should query young? No. But, if you think that you're up to par of the famous writers, then go for it. I mean, you aren't required to say an age in the query, so they won't know until they sign you (if they sign you).
In all honesty, waiting maybe better then going right out and doing it young. But most of us are going to do it when we aren't ready anyways. Because we need the experience and the rejection. It sorta like sex, huh?
Well, anyways, I just wanted to say what I thought. I didn't agree with this thought at all, for the record. I just wanted to point it out.
