Although I have only been on here about a month, I have definitely seen an improvement in my work, and I feel much more solid now in my place as a writer. I'm very grateful to everyone on Write the World who has encouraged me and reviewed my work.
    In return, I would like to do a contest like many of the fascinating competitions I've seen around here (although I have not taken part in any)....

A German family came over centuries ago, hoping for a new life in a New World.
One of the men married a Delaware princess.

An English family came as well, and one day these two families would join through a marriage.

If we perish in the seeking, why, how small a thing is death!
To die will be an awfully big adventure

This is the way adventures begin
