Slaying Dragons

Stepping away from the computer today. I leave you in good hands. The bravest girl in the world has written a story (she's the white girl, third from the right).

Riley Saves the Day!

I love her. Thanks for the cheer today, after that lame broadcast last night. :)

Nancy said...

You Go Riley! This is likely not the first and I'm certain not the last dragon slaying for this girl!

Kerry said...

That is the cutest thing on Earth! Horray for Riley!

Kim said...

Absolutely awesome. Riley is my hero!

Amber said...

Love. It.

:)

Stacy said...

Get that girl an agent! Love it.

Dianne said...

May I request Riley be a regular guest blogger?

What a wonderful story. "Hooray for Riley"

I'm carrying a piece of bubblegum with me at all times from now on. You just never know.

I adore riley she is a fun girl.
Maybe she will be a published writer. There are a couple of online publishers that take stories by kids. Also writer's digest books has listings.
If she can handle the acceptance rejection part of writing.

I understand about being too busy. I just removed half my favorite Blogs from bloglines.

I absolutely love this!

It's got all the elements: setting, setting forth of action, conflict, and a heroine who saves the day!

Bravo!

I love her chutzpah.

And her self confidence.

And of course, that all of her friends are of color and she is the hippest chick, wearing "Baby Phat"

That girl has it ALL going on. I haven't seen that quality of writing out of FIRST graders, in quite awhile. WOW. The. Apple. Doesn't. Fall. Far. From. The. F'ing. Tree.

Riley skipped a grade when we put her in this new school. She is officially a second grader and don't let her hear you calling her a first grader again, okay Carrie?

Carrie Wilson Link said...

I guess I "skipped" that fact. Key-rist. Still UNBELIEVABLE writing!!!!!!
