Hey guys! I'm planning on entering some writing to the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. I can enter as many pieces as I want, but I don't know where to start. Please comment some of your favorite pieces of mine to help me out. They don't have to be recent, as all my writing here is from this year.
Update (12/23/2020): I plan on entering this into the Scholastics comp, so I'd really appreciate constructive feedback in comments and/or reviews. :)

Re: awww, that’s an adorable name!! Mine were Meadow and Tybee (both girls). And aw, I didn’t know you used to do it!! Yes, it’s fun! I actually ride English, I like those saddles more. One day I’m sure you’ll get to do that (I will come bring a horse to you if need be!! XD )

Oh my giggly golly gosh, it's been a while, my friend! How I have missed you! I've been super busy doing- well, not much, I've kinda been busy doing nothing, just thinking and eating, you get me? LOL! What have you been up to? Anything exciting? How was your Christmas? I got to see my Nana, it was so nice to see her after so much time away from her!
Also, this piece is so sweet! I'm sure you'll make a beautiful bride someday!
Also, belated Happy Christmas! <3

Re: okay, awesome about OCC. and yesssssss I will see you soon then, I hope!!!!! Aww, what was his/her name? Yeah, it’s a tad creepy when you’re just walking by and it’s staring at you, but actually sleeping....
Yes you shall ride! That’s so neat that you have that connection! And hey, you don’t need any experience to ride! I know you could do it!! The hardest part if if you get nervous, because the fantastic animals can sense that, and it makes them nervous. It’s so interesting to watch little kids ride. I’ve seen girls in GS who were really young, and FEARLESS!! They hop up on that horse and riiiiiiddddeee! It’s amazing actually. Some of them are really really good, and they’ve never been on a horse before. Little kids + horses = paradise! XD

Re: thank you so much for the awesome comment!!
I’m glad you’re doing well! As far as the OCC things goes, our Girl Scout Troop did it last year, but since that was before all the Covid restrictions we didn’t this year. We’ve actually been limited on just meeting. Wow, definitely some interesting dreams!
Come. Visit. Me. Here!!!!! Pleaseeee!
And yes the cookies are all amazing! XD And guinea pigs are cute, although they do tend to sleep with their eyes open, which is not so cute, lol. I hope someday you get a chance to ride! If you ever visit me here, I’ll take you!!!
Thanks so much for the comment!! :) Have a great day!! <3333

re: thank you for the kind words! and no, i’m not really from switzerland, i just used it as a way to keep my actual country anonymous.

re: aw, thanks for your comment! and yes, it’s official between us. it’s kind of nerve wracking, to be honest — i’ve never been in a relationship before. but it’ll be a journey, that’s for sure. happy belated christmas (if you celebrate it), and happy holidays!

I don't know how I missed this piece! This is so touching and beautiful; I love the cosmic theme. I also love Leanna Crawford—I haven't listened to much of her music but I heard Fragile Heart the other day and just fell in love with it, so now I'm going to check her music out.
Re: Thank you! I wanted a positive message at the end...I was inspired from a prompt about writing about the cause of something, so I wanted to look at the cause of low self-confidence.

Re: thanks again, Blue. It’s so hard to love people. But it makes us stronger, I suppose. I hope you have an awesome night! <333

Re: thank you so much!! I’m glad you got it! I was afraid it’d be too... violent. I find it kind of hopeful, but I’m trying to work out some of the mess in my head. Yep, HSP’s forever, lol. I worry about my friends. And crush. If that boy keeps making me cry without meaning to or knowing he did.... I don’t know. That’s not a threat, so.... yeah I give up, lol. Excuse me while I go find some pie.

Ps. I’m planning on changing my pfp to a pic I draw..... we will see how that works! XD I’ve been using drawing as a different creative outlet the past few days, and for some reason, my mind has very very weird ways of interpreting feelings.....

Re: hey! I’m sorry it took me so long to respond! So what happened was early yesterday morning, an RV exploded downtown. It decimated an entire street at least. The weird part was that before it blew, there was a recording of a woman’s voice that played that said “if you are close enough to hear this message, evacuate now”. Police came in and got everyone out of the houses as far as they know, but they think there might have been at least one death. But if someone was sick enough to blow up an entire street that would displace that many people, why did they play a mysterious warning from the RV that warned people to get out?! It’s crazy and sick. We thankfully don’t live in Nashville, but we don’t live too too far away. And we used to live even closer. I still consider Nashville part of my home. I would really appreciate prayers. Thank you so much.

Rohan’s Defender (Semi-Active)
Hi, Blue! How are you doing?
Could I ask for prayers for Nashville please? There was a disaster there yesterday. A bomb.

Re: Aww, thank you so much. I am so glad you liked that one ^-^

The flow of this!! Just so sweet and I love how it captures such sweetness in such a short piece! And your footnotes! Ahh, rereading the piece after reading that just made the piece hit different and gosh am I in love with it. And that last line! Absolutely love it! There's such a sweetness here, as if a warm hug is encompassing you, a lovely little message and that is just so endearing. Whoever you marry in the future, I wish you two the very best!
Replying: Merry Christmas Anne!! You're such a light of life here and I hope today grants you smiles and happiness!

This is really pretty and heartfelt. I'm sure God has an awesome man out there for you.
Re: Air soft is kind of like laser tag but the guns are a lot bigger and more realistic. We do use plastic BBs, and it does hurt a little when you get shot but shooting is a lot more accurate than with laser tag.
