For Thursday - Find 'THE SONG' - you know, the song that you hear and you think..."That's my song" -I originally stated longer than two years - ultimately, you just need to make sure that you and the song have a relationship spanning over a decent time period.

Recap - Today we looked at crafting characters that readers care about. Remember the tips below on how to build solid characters.
- 1) Identity the person’s name and relationship to others in the story.
- For example: Uncle John is your father’s eldest brother and
- is married to your mother’s second cousin
- 2) Describe, as if to a blind person, how the person looks
- 3) Describe character’s values, attitudes, interests
- 4) Describe their habits, quirks, moans
- 5) Put your character into a vignette (short situation)
- then: Mix and Match and play with the order of your sentences
e.g.
When I walked into the cinnamon-scented kitchen, Mother
looked up, a smile spreading across her thin face and a twinkle in her
cornflower-blue eyes. She wiped the flour from her arthritic hands on the
well-worn, yellow apron before hurrying over to hug me. I was shocked to notice
that with age, she had begun to shrink and now stood on her toes in order to
embrace me. I’d been away too long.

Dear Mr. Buxton,
I was wondering where the google doc of where you record your reading went?
Thanks,
Rehaan
Hey Rehaan,
I don't mean to answer for Mr. Buxton or anything, but he said in his last post that we only need to log on our personal reading log.
