Well, the kids in the book club are elementary school, like 4th and 5th grade, back when Sarah and I read Restart we were in 4th-5th grade too. THE FORT or LINKED could be good choices for them too. I’m really glad you like these letters!!

Also, here’s that response I said I’d say from what you said yesterday:

 

Yeah, an editor, but she’s not like a $200 one she’s a cheap one. I didn’t figure you’d know a lot about Wattpad because it’s mainly used by tweenage to teenage girls. “Unsettled”. That’s a great way to describe the way I talk and think, I’d say. Thanks! And LOL about Tolkien. Do you feel the same way about C.S. Lewis? If you did, that’d be funny, because the sponsor of poetry club at my school is obsessed with Lewis. Oh, and to answer your question about my allowance; let’s just say that it’s very fortunate my birthday is only 20 days from Christmas. 😉 Yippee!

 

Sorry this letter is in a billion different formats.

Dear Gord, 

 

I think that I am kind of crazy. Crazy in the “I do fun and very random and kind of scary things” way, not in the mean way. 

 

I’m already on my seventh letter. I literally said that I couldn’t do daily letters and that’s not feasible. But I’m on the seventh one. Wow, I really do things when I put my mind to it. If only I could write actual content this much. Like, guess how many words I’ve written already? Guess!

 

If you guessed 2,657 words you’d be right on. Now that I look at it, these letters aren’t that long. But I do hope I’ve brought a smile to your face at least once. And I do hope you’re actually reading these. I’m actually going to test you to see if you’ve read these.

 

So, anyways, SLUGFEST COMES OUT IN TWO DAYS, and also, I feel like this day is important for some reason but I don’t know why. Seventh of January? Oh wait! That means Kings Day was yesterday! You certainly don’t celebrate that but it’s a big thing in Catholicism (and I’m not Catholic… but still!) Yeah, so, happy that.

 

Here’s your test now. If you respond to this, please say the word “pink” in your letter at least once. Then I will know that you have read this far. Well, I now want to celebrate the first seven days, the first week of me sending a message every day to you. I am pretty sure that I am going to do that since all I have to do is literally copy and paste from Google Docs, because at this point, I have written seven letters. A B C D E F G.

 

That was actually really funny.

 

Anyways, I kind of don’t know what to talk about. Maybe The Bookout? I’m so glad I started uploading on there because I actually got 61 subscribers as of 12/31/23. Can you believe that? It’s so many! In so short a time! You’re awesome, Gord. Thanks for the idea. I wouldn’t have made that channel if I didn’t want to make a video for your 100th book so badly.

 

Well, that’s the end of this letter. And that’s also the end of me writing letters for right now since I just wrote seven or eight! Bye, Gord!

Be blessed,

Jade
