A FEELING, A MEMORY, A DECISION, and HOPE.
Doris the cat purred happily and curled up in the sunny window. She shivered a little when she thought about how long she'd lived in the streets as a skinny, stray cat. But that was then. now she knew she would never again choose to wander about chasing mice like she used to. It would be fancy cat food for her from now on, served in a fancy glass dish. As old Mrs. Winn patted her soft coat, Doris stretched and hoped that life would always be this good!
Before: And that is the story of how I saved my little sister from drowning.
Sandra shivered with the thought of Carrie screaming and waving her arms in effort to swim while the current dragging her farther out to the ocean. That night she wrote on her diary, : " I hope she won't too far as that again. Tomorrow I shall persuade my mom and dad to give her swimming lessons for they are stil shaken by what had happened. I will forever keep an eye peeled for trouble heading towards my sister's way, so danger, BEWARE!!

You did a super job with the ending lesson, and I'd like to send you your certificate of completion. Usually I ask students to complete a survey of the class, and if you would like to do that, here are the questions. However, since I am closing down the WW blog in another month, it seems silly to make you go to all the trouble. Check out the "new" blog:
www.reachforthestarsworkshop.blogspot.com
Since the new book is coming out, I need a new blog. (Actually, I need a new blog like I need a hole in the head).
Would you like to be included on an e-mail list that will send out periodic newsletters with writing "fun" assignments and announcements about contests and stuff? If so, just say so and I'll add your name. Who knows when the first issue will be distributed? My publisher is now in charge of that, thankfully.
Anyway, if you would like me to send you a nice certificate, please e-mail me your name, your address (are you still in the P.I.? If you are willing, it would really save me money if I could e-mail you the certificate and then you could print it out on card stock). Let me know if that is OK with you.
my e-mail is: susankmarlow [at] comcast [dot] net.
It's been a joy having you in the workshop, and your name and a sample lesson you did is in the NEW workbook. :-)
