N in a Nutshell

Hey Guys, Long time no see! Happy holidays! I have been busy for a while and now that it's winter break I can blog more. I probably won't be following a posting schedule so my posts will be at random times on random days. I might, might  do a Christmas gift haul so stay tuned. Without further ado lets get started. Today I'm going to share two short stories I wrote doing a prompt a day. I wrote these stories on the 20th and 21st of December. I got these prompts from the seventh sanctum writing prompt generator linked  here . Enjoy!  Story 1: Prompt: The river is her friend. We never really understood Sadie. She was just different. I never really understood her until we became friends.  Sadie was only at school Monday, Wednesday and Friday. We never knew why. Sadie was alone all of the time, I was her only friend or so I thought. Sadie approached me on a gloomy Monday morning. "Rory, meet me after school down by the river. Don't not come." she said and

Hey Guys, I'm back! Since it's the start of October I thought I would start posting again. And I thought I would try some new things out. Today I'm going to share the changes I'm hopefully making and things I'm adding. So without further ado, lets get started.     The first thing is I will be trying out gadgets and things on my blog. Never tried it before wish me luck. The next thing is I will be trying out themes and colours to change things up. And I might be changing up what my posts look like as well. Those are all the new changes I will be making. See you next Sunday! Happy Canadian Thanksgiving! Dancing Tween

Hey Guys, Today I'm going to share my official posting schedule. My posting has gone a little wonky lately so I made a schedule. I still have a few weeks left of summer vacation so I'll probably be posting more. Without further ado lets get started. Summer Schedule   My summer schedule will be every Sunday and maybe during the week.

I will have a better post next week. See you next Sunday,  Dancing Tween  

Hey guys, Sorry my posting has gone a little wonky lately, I haven't really had any ideas. If you have a post suggestion then leave it down below. So without further ado lets get started! Today I'm going to be sharing a short story I wrote recently. Enjoy! I closed my eyes and let the music flow through me. I finished, I heard some one clapping. I gazed over, I saw my friend Jess smiling back. "That looks so good Mackenzie!" She told me. "Thanks" I said as my cheeks turned pink. My act was really coming together. My schools talent show was coming up and I was really keen on performing and winning the best dance award. All of a sudden Kaylee, my enemy and her crew came over. "Do you really think you have a chance?" She snickered and walked away. After a few more days of preparing the talent show was finally here. It was after school and I was in my costume, ready to go on. I was extremely nervous, then my name was called. I walked on stage an

Hi guys, Sorry I haven't been posting for 4 weeks. I have had the end of dance, school and my family went on vacation. So with all that aside, let's begin.  Today, I am going to be sharing some tips on getting summer dance practice in. My dance starts in September and ends in June so I have the whole summer off. I also start again most times a level higher. So here is some advice to help you  practice all summer break.  1. Stretching and conditioning      One thing you can do is stretch and keep your body strong. I own a yoga mat so I use it regularly to stretch and warm up if I am practicing, choreographing or doing improv. I am also doing pushups daily to work on strength. This is a good tip to boost your skills next year.  2. Improv  I improv on a regular basis. If you don't know what improv is it's freely dancing to music, it's not choreographed. I find this helps me with musicality and feeling happy. It helps when I'm choreographing as well w

Hi guys, Today I'm going to be doing a book review on the book To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Did I enjoy it?  YES! I really enjoyed reading this book, it was a good story and really made me think. This book is pretty thick and I read it starting in or around the month of January and I just finished on Tuesday. I really wanted to keep reading every time I put it down.  This book is a classic and was originally published in 1960. This book has two parts and is 31 chapters long.  This book uses a bad word frequently so if you don't understand or you're younger make sure you know that word is unacceptable. The Main Characters The main characters are Jean-Louise Finch (also called Scout)and Jem Finch. They appear the most in the book. This book was told in first person point of view. (Told by Scout) My Rating I give this book 4 and a half stars. It's a very good book to read, I truly recommend this book. I hope you enjoyed reading this book review.

Hi guys, Today I'm sharing a story I just started writing. I haven't come up with a name yet but I do have ideas. It's about a girl named Willow who learns she has powers but she's in danger. I hope you like what I have written so far. Introduction  A car swerved onto a busy sidewalk, screams filled the air as a lone girl was hit. Her name was Willow. At that moment her life was about to change forever. Story I awoke to the sound of a constant beep, I heard talking coming from the end of my bed. I looked up, a woman with hazel eyes and sunny blonde hair dressed in scrubs looked back. She helped me sit up. " How are you doing?" the woman asked. " I'm nurse Everly." I gazed at her kind gentle smile. " I ache all over." I croaked, feeling the pain. I couldn't speak easily. The door opened with a creak, a man dressed in a white coat entered the room. He spoke to the nurse then turned to me. " Do your parents know where
