It's all so real to me now! And I haven't even came up with a plan yet. It's making me really anxious and it's almost always on my mind.
BUT, tomorrow I have on my to-do-list to plan everything out and have a around date for things. I'm really excited whatever comes to my head I'm just going to slap it down on paper and see if it looks good.
I can't wait and I know I can do this.

Maybe you're thinking, "why?" let me answer that for you.
So, maybe you're thinking, "Why in the world would a twelve year old girl be trying to raise five thousand dollars!? Isn't that impossible?" Firstly, I'd like to address that nothing is impossible, mystery thinker. Second, it's a very long story, but I have some good amout of time on my hands, I'd like to tell you.
Almost a year ago my mom told me about a writing program in Oregon (if you know about NaNoWriMo, you might know which one I'm talking about.) and I really wanted to go, but I didn't think much, but when I remembered it was already around the middle of October, which obviously I didn't have the time to raise the money or just the money. So, I got to thinking about going next year and raising the money then next year (now), getting a job. But now, I have come to a new creative approach and just raising it while doing exactly what I want to do, and not just now but with my future careers in life.
Sadly, I found out that they won't be having that same retreat in 2010, so I'm looking for one that does close to the same thing, or one for video editing, or photography (unless the retreat happens again).
Some of the things include: A event that includes, fashion show, live music, poetry reading, and whatever else I can think of that would tie in with it, going downtown and talking to the managers of locally owned businesses and asking to take pictures for them and they're business and in return have a fund-raising night for me where a percentage of the money would go to me along with putting a tip jar type of thing out.
I'm so exicted for this, and I'm starting very soon.
Thanks for reading and stay tuned for more updates on my journey to get 5,000 bucks! :)
