While I am dealing with my writer's block issues, I have a post from a guest writer.
Katie’s Day at the Olympics
She is very close to my heart, she is all of 7 years, she is an aspiring writer, she is my dear daughter A. This was written for the PTA Reflections Competition, and this year's theme is "Believe, Dream, Inspire".
This was judged at her school yesterday and her work has been selected to move to the District level.
UPDATE: Jan 28th 2013: This was judged at the District level and won the first prize and will move to the State level.

Katie’s Day at the Olympics
Once upon a time there lived
a little girl named Katie. She lived in a little house with her big sister
Lucy, Mom and Dad. Her big sister loved participating in competitions and she
was now going to the Olympics and tomorrow was the day of the Olympics! Katie
was so excited to finally get to watch her big sister in the Olympics!! All
through the day Katie was waiting to see the Olympics with Lucy in it!! Katie
hurried to the first row in the stadium she couldn’t miss a thing! Katie waited
for the Olympics to start, finally it started, the drums were loud, the horns
were tooting everything was loud until Lucy’s turn came. Katie swallowed hard
if Lucy didn’t win then me, Lucy, Mom and Dad would all be sad, Katie thought.
Out came Lucy and started to do her routine on the beam….then the bars, the
judges looked at Lucy and then at each other and then finally said Lucy is the
winner of our gymnastics competition!!! Katie clapped for Lucy!
After some years Katie
stepped out of the Olympic waiting room and smiled at everyone, then she did
the same thing as Lucy had done, only a different routine and she kept saying
results, results, results. Finally the results came…..yessssss! Katie got the
“GOLD” medal. Just before she recived it she looked at the audiance and where
she had been cheering for Lucy and smiled!!
