( Extract 1) Edaline Simard's Diary of Completly and Utterly Normal?

14th of December, 2012

Dear Diary,

Never expect to be addressed like that ever again. I have bought this notebook simply for the reason that the teachers might give me extra English credit.

Later

Am in English. Apparently I can't get extra English credit for something " As simple as keeping a diary" . Oh well. It was worth a try. Goodbye not- so- diary

After school

Yeah. So I decided that I should keep writing a notebook. Just to please mum and dad. I think they are the only parents in the world who actually want their only daughter to keep secrets from them. And I am the only daughter in the world who doesn't want to.

On the bus

Sorry I had to cut off then. The bus was just about to leave. I don't even know why I started another entry. I don't have anything to say. Or why I apologised to a notebook. Just a bunch of paper. Sheets and sheets of old trees.

Later, at home

Got home to a very laid back mum, and a cool- as- a cucumber dad. I know any other daughter would complain that her parents think they are cool, but I'm not going to, because I think my parents actually are cool. I walked into the kitchen and picked up an apple. " Hey, Edde, do you wanna come through to the living room for a minute? " Mum called, and I walked through. " What's wrong? " I asked, seeing the looks on their faces. They were the looks that they had had when they had been arrested for protesting, and the looks they had when they told a homeless guy he could sleep in my room for a night. " We just wanted to tell you something" my Dad said, and I put my bag down on the floor. I didn't sit down. I'm not a sitter- downer. My mum and dad looked at each other. Then my mum said, " Star, we have decided to move. To a place called " Normolville" . " Oh. Okay. That's cool"

See, this is an appropriate size for me to base a review on. It's a great write. Some SPaG issues. Also, every new speaker merits a new paragraph. Remember that. I sometimes forget too. Lol.

You are so very original it amazes me Emily!! I have never seen anybody write such odd and weird stuff...But as a writer that is a GREAT thing...When readers see something that is totally off the norm it just sucks them in....Thats exactly what your doing here...Good job again...Keep it up
