Have you ever

Chatterbox: Inkwell

Have you ever

Have you ever wished your life could be an adventure? Last year, it was all I wanted. I wanted to open the wardrobe and ride The Polar Express, because I was jealous that evrything good seems to be trapped on printed pages.

 
Sure, I love to write fantasy, but right now I'm into stories that are more down-to-earth. Does anyone get where I'm coming from? Anyone at all?

Oh my goodness, that's exactly like me! I completely understand what you're talking about! I've always longed for some fantastical adventure like in the books, because my life is so mundane compared to what I read. Fantasy books sometimes satiate my desire for adventure, but it doesn't quench it all the way.

Dear Katie,

 

I totally understand what you are talking about! Sometimes I pretend I'm a character in a book, that helps. I also have imaginary fairies living in my garage. Also, when I play with dolls (I know, I am twelve and I play with dolls), that seems to help because anything can happen! Sometimes, I wish something exciting would happen to me. I even leave mysterious coded sticky notes in Nancy Drew books at my library! 

 

Another adventurous one,

Rose Bud
