No menu: Week 45
There wont be a menu this week. I know this is kinda of late to post.
We lost my Grandpa last Saturday night. He went home to live with our heavenly father. I miss him very much, but I'm sure he is having the most amazing time with his family that has gone before him.
We've spent a lot of time this last week remembering my grandpa and sharing stories and pictures. I've loved hearing about my grandpa's smiling face and his giving heart. He was a great man, and I've only began to touch the surface of who he was.
I know that one of my fondest memories was how he used to call me Sarai (Sar-ee-eye). I loved it so much I adopted it as my pen name.
So, in closing I will say this. I miss my grandpa very much, but I will see him again in heaven one day.

All you need is a 500 word sample of your writing and then you just sit back and let it fight it out with the other samples. Its that simple.
Good luck! I will be posting my entry on my blog as soon as the contest is over.

Dear super duper coaches,I would like to offer up my novel The Last Artican, a YA fantasy complete at 94,000 words. It's a stand alone novel with series potential and it will appeal to fans of Garth Nix’s SABRIEL and Mercedes Lacky’s BRIGHTLY BURNING.
The ancient blood of the founding master races flows through
Tabor’s veins. Power. Magic. A death sentence.
In the south, the Dominion
hunts down anyone with the blood of the ancients and on her nineteenth
birthday, they find Tabor. Captured by the murderous Dominion leader, Lord
Farenan, Tabor and her pure magic are all he needs to claim true power in the
world. He will use her magic to find her people, a people who have not been
seen in a century, and enslave them.
Unwilling to be used, Tabor escapes
and places her trust in her new caretaker who promises to aid her in finding
her people, in finding a way to be free. Tabor quickly finds that her new ally
has his own agenda and he uses Tabor’s trusting heart to get what he wants, his
sisters freedom.
Betrayed and recaptured, Tabor
is taken to the heart of Winter Land and forced to search out her
ancestors or suffer the consequences, death. Her people hold the secrets to her
safety and the training to harness the greatest power seen in centuries, but
Farenan seeks to make Tabor their destruction.

“An easy diet for a crazy life.”
Thank you for your
consideration. I hope to hear from you soon.
First 250 words
I had been staring at the crack in the ceiling over my bed
for hours now. I watched as the moon light visited my window casting a sullen
shadow across the room, and I waited as the white glow was replaced by the
early morning twilight. Dawn had finally come.
I hadn’t slept most of the night because of the dream. I
could still hear the haunting sound of my mother’s last screams as I laid freezing
in a bed of snow. A baby left for dead. The sounds kept me awake more often
than not these days and the visions only became worse. I ran my hands through
my sweat soaked hair. Make them stop!
My thoughts
were interrupted by the bell in the tower. I dreaded that sound. It meant that
I would have to live one more day hiding who I was and where I came from. I
guess it was better than the nightmares I faced when I slept, but I didn’t know
how much better it was.
As the bell
chimed again calling to me to get out of bed, I remembered what this day meant.
It was my nineteenth birthday. It would mark one year that my magic refused to
emerge. One year that I was a misfit between normal and Artican. I was
beginning to doubt my origins.
Maybe I wasn’t who I thought I was all along. Maybe
this master blood that was supposed to be running through my veins was a myth.
