Update 10/26/2015

 

Hi, Everyone!

Sorry for being away. My life is busy with school, work and writing. I wanted to let everyone know that I have made some changes to my site.

1. I have added some banners


2. two products I would like to recommend to everyone

So I have added a banner for my newsletter and removed the widget. I believe I it is better this way so I do not have too many widgets and overwhelm everyone.

I have also added two pages with two products I would like to recommend that everyone should check out.

1. Siteground- This is the site I decided to get my hosting will for only $3.95 a month you can get WordPress hosting plus a free domain name included.

2. Grammarly- As many of you know that I have spelling issues but, I have found this great product that is teaching me what I am doing wrong not just spelling but, with grammar. You can start free with a chrome or firefox extension!



 

Thank you all for checking these products out!

Until next time,

Kaitlyn

This is Our Year!

This is our year Cubs fans!

Just last night the Cubs beat the Cardinals 6-4 earning the national league division championship! Just as it was predicted in Back to the Future part 2. The Chicago Cubs are going to make it all the way. Now as we the fans keep holding our breath. It is time to celebrate in style. We have until Saturday to enjoy the win as we wait to see who the Cubs will play next. It could be the New York Mets or the L.A.. Dodgers My mom and I are hoping it would be the Mets for the time difference reason. Though whoever it may be, the Chicago Cubs will get through it. Last night after we won the four of us went out and bought the new shorts. My Dad even put on Cubs music that we have while driving over. When we won my mom was so happy she was crying and I believe she is still in shock. I am just excited as she is and wish that my Nanna was here. She would have had a huge bet at the nursing home she was at since everyone there are cardinals fans. Even though they are still in the state of Illinois.  She would be yelling at the top of her lungs that the cubs won and have a party. I am not sure what the bet would have been but, I am sure everyone would have to be wearing Cubs shorts and state that the cubs are better than the Cardinals. That would be that start of it I am sure she would have made it more interesting. I even have my Cubbie Bear with me as I write this. I decided that he needed a vacation from working so hard with these games. He needed the time out of the house. With that, I would like to close with a poem I wrote a few years back as a birthday gift for my Mom.  This poem can also be found in my first poetry book.

The World Series

Every year

Everyone holds their breath

For one day

Crossing their fingers

Every day

Just hoping that

Their home team

 Makes it

Praying; cheering

Celebrating the day!

That day is when the

Chicago Cubs

WIN THE WORLD SERIES!!

ALL WAS QUIET!

This is the Year!

Writing 201: Poetry Day 2-4

Hi, everyone! I am doing a giant post of the last few days that I missed with writing 201. So these are the poems I wrote for the last few assignments.

Day 2: gift, Acrostic, and smile

Gift

A box

box with color

color rapper

dots and stars

elephants too.

Flowers bright as the sun

Gifts

Day 3: Skin, Prose Poetry and Internal Rhyme

Tree

As tall as the empire state building. You can't stand away. green as grass leaves. brown as bricks bark. bark as rough as a mountain. Bark that protects from the weather. rain, snow, and wind you still stand.

Day 4: Imperfect, Limerick, and enjambment

We are imperfect

which can cause  conflict

We may yell and fight

Yet we all may be right

We are all imperfect

So here are my poems so I am caught up with writing 201: Poetry! YAY!

Hope you enjoy these poems!

Comment bellow!

Would you buy a book of all the poems I have writen on my blog?

I have been thinking for a long time. If I should take all the poems I have written on my blog and make it available as a book. So I have a poll for everyone to answer for me. This poll will expire in a week. Please be honest as you can with this. I just want to know if anyone would really buy the book if I put one together.

Also, maybe in the comments add what device you would like to read the book. That way I can make sure I have it available for everyone.

Thank you for your feedback!

P.S. Thank you for those of you who filled out the last two polls. I got an even result of how to create a blog and use it and how to write poetry. So I will work on those as well. Thank you for the four poeple who did those polls.

2015 Goals

Hi, everyone! Yesterday was the last day of Writing 101. So the last prompt asked us to look to the future and write down what they are.

My Goals for 2015

1. I would like to gain 50+ more followers


2. I would like to sell 100 copies each of my books


3. I would like to have my first draft done for my novel ( plan to come out summer of 2016)


4. I would like to have 50+  subscribers on my email newsletter list


5. I would like to become more popular.

My future brings more excited people to my site and shows me I can do anything when I put my mind and heart to it.

I want you, my reader, to help with some of these goals maybe pick three that you can help me with. Then, today do something that will help me in that area.  It could be as simply liking on Facebook or following me on twitter. It could be subscribing to my newsletter. Even just a shout out about me on whatever social network you use.  Even a book review on amazon will help lots.  This will help me reach my goals which, will mean the world to me. Also, please answer the two polls bellow.
