Or more specifically: Diary of a tomboy who loved to read, tell jokes, ride bikes, play Barbies, bury dead birds, play sports, and who eventually became boy crazy in junior high. Yeah, that kid.Most of you blog readers are writers. And you write for children, right? So, where else to capture the voice of youth but a diary. How about my diary? Yes, I'll give you a peek. I'll try to post one a week for a while. Don't worry, it'll get juicier by the time I'm in the throes and woes of junior high...
I received this diary when I was almost eight years old.
Here are my first two entries word for word that I wrote the summer before third grade:
6/18
Dear Diary,
I have been thinking of what I am going to be when I grow up. I want to be a vetinarian, pet store lady, model, be on commercials, a TV star or a song writer. or a teacher.
6/18
Me and Anne are writing in our Diary's today. And Anne is writing about our last eclipse and what she is going to be when she grew up. Anne let me see her Diary and I got what I was going to be, from her.
It's nice to see that I accomplished a few goals of my childhood. I did become a teacher. I was an extra in two tv shows, and I write song parodies (okay, those are a stretch)!
What did you want to be when you grew up? What does your character want to be when he/she grows up?
