Writing/Drawing Prompt #1: Aliens

Writing/Drawing Prompt Thursdays

Every Thursday I'll post the first sentence to a story. Then, use that sentence to start your own story, or make a drawing based on that subject., using your creativity. Good thing I'm not doing this on a Monday because really, my brain is missing on Monday's.

So if you want, you can leave a comment and share some of your story, or email me your picture and I can even put it up on my blog next week (if you want to share it!)

So, here's the prompt. And have a fun-tastic time!

I just found out my bestie is an alien and i'm supposed to keep this a...a secret?

Other Things Books Are Good For

Books are good for a few things. Things such as:

1. Swatting mosquitos. Or spiders. But I only recommend this if the book is disposable. Like a telephone book.

2. Throwing at your friend. My BFF Nona threw a book at my head once. Among other things. Um yeah,   that KINDA hurt!

3. Making you taller. Really. If you stack a bunch of books you can stand on them to reach something super high that you're probably not supposed to be reaching for. But it's the challenge, right? Oh, and make sure each book is Harry PotterThick. Otherwise, you'll need like, a bazillion skinny books.



A girl. A guy. A ghost. A heist. Yikes!

 4. Okay, the most obvious reason of all, reading. You probably thought I forgot about that one, huh? Well, one of my favorite authors is Barrie Summy. She writes these awesome mystery type books. It even has ghosts in it! Anyways, I finished reading another one of her books and i'm addicted. Good thing it's a series and there's a bunch out there. You can check out her website at http://www.barriesummy.com/.

What are some of your favorite books?

So all you have to do is comment on this post and one awesome winner will be picked on Wednesday, December 1st!

Never Sleep

In the poll asking which ability you'd like to have most, the most voted answer was Never Need to Sleep. So, what kinda things would you do all night instead of sleeping? And if you could choose one person who could have the same ability as you and never sleep, who would you choose? 

I would definitely pick Nona.

Or maybe Andrew. *sigh*

But Nona, she would be more fun.

Although I could stare at Andrew forever. *sigh*

Hmmm, can I answer this later?

WINNER OF THE GOSSIP CONTEST!

The winner was SO hard to choose. I mean, I seriously spit random drinks through my nose just reading those gossipy comments. You guys are so funny! It was really, really hard to pick. Thank you for everyone who participated!

And the winner who will be a character in the next book with me is:

Congrats, Maddie! I will send you an email with deets soon!

I Solved the Mystery!

Remember when I was sick but not really?  You'll never believe what happened. Okay, well you might believe it, but in all factness that I fell for it is quite actually the most unbelieveable part of it all.

So Nona got a teeny tiny bit mad when I would let her read the comments for the Super Gossip Contest, which BTW, today is the last day to enter! And so she tried to get the ultimate BFF revenge on me. And I think she pulled it off.

Under my bed was a pair of her old, ugly, dirty, disguting gym shoes. And might I add, VERY worn and sweaty, smelly gym shoes. Yeah. Every bit as bad as it it sounds.

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!

She shoved onions inside them. They reeked sooo bad that it was like...okay, I can't even compare it to anything that reeks, not even Mia St. Claire. THAT'S how bad it was.

So now we know why my poor fragile stomach was so nauseated, and my eyes and nose were running uncontrollably. That's right. They were trying to run away from my body. Aways from the grossness of what is called Nona's gym shoes. *shudders*

I Was Sick. But Not Really.

So I stayed in bed all weekend because I felt nauseated, and my eyes were watering, my nose was running, I was one big mess. But guess what happened? When I got out of bed, I was magically better. Symptom free! Hmmm. So I got back in bed to see what would happen again and I started feel horribly miserable. Something is terribly wrong here. So now I'm staying away from my bed until I can figure out what is going on. Because there is definitely something going on. Definitely. But...what could it be?

It's a good thing that I, Sofia Becker, loves a good mystery! Does anyone else? Maybe someone has ideas on how to solve this one or what could be the cause of  it?

I've tried to get Sam Sam to talk, because he always knows everything, but nope. He hasn't squawked a word. He's still talking about the Gossip Contest to be a character in the next book. I haven't peeked at the Gossipy Comments yet, but he keeps saying "Funny, haha, squawk!"

Well, I'm off to hopefully solve a mysterious mystery now!
