Most people peg me for someone that wants a little fluffy poodle or something, but I don't think I would ever get a little dog. But this one guy said that he could see me owning a pit bull, and I really love pit bulls and would want to have one one day. It was kind of funny he pegged me for such an opposite dog than what everyone else thinks.LittleMonsterx14noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051904684917790050.post-62158253992777651852014-01-19T10:57:33.936-05:002014-01-19T10:57:33.936-05:00It is awesome that they did not know ^^ Gotta love...It is awesome that they did not know ^^ Gotta love a little surprise!

I think that is going to be the hardest to write, because it all has to fit together perfectly at the end. Another idea is also a YA fantasy - funny that! - and that's much easier because I can create reality to fit the story I want to tell... because it's fantasy. <br /><br /><br />Good luck with your writing! :)Amber-Rose Thomasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051904684917790050.post-83259823778264812102014-01-17T13:16:35.608-05:002014-01-17T13:16:35.608-05:00:) That's fun.
