FINISHED! HURRAH!

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have finished my writing sample!!! Hallelujah! But now I need to edit......the whole story......from start to finish.......yay..........
I'm a bit of a rat bag (as our teacher Richard calls us), because the limit for out sample is two pages, but I have kind of breached the limit and done 14 pages..........what???? It's 2x7 pages......heh...heh........

Here is a bit of the start (which is different to the one I previously wrote)

Her finger traced along the bumpy,rough bark of the Miro tree. She fingered circles, spirals and other squiggles. The texture was inimitable, not like any other tree she had seen. Its leaves were long, soft, tickly. It was damp, showered by the evening deluge, and it left her finger feeling wet and strangely cold. She placed it to check. Tiny, razor sharp, icy cold lightning bolds pierced her checks like needles.
New Zealand. The land of the long white cloud. The home to the Kiwi, the Kiwifruit and Jandals. And to native bush, Pohutakawas, Rimus, Kauris and Miros.  Also to Abel Tasman National Park. And that was where Yannah was right now.
Yannah turned away from the Miro and confronted the environment she was in. It was a thin, long strip of land, which twisted and turned and bent round a corner. A muddy track snaked through the middle, parting numerous native trees and bushes. The trees moderately shaded the bushland from the gleaming sunlight, which shone primarily everyday. Fascinating New Zealand birds chirped joyful above them, flying tree to tree.
Yannah inhaled the fresh, cool air which floated around her. Water and fresh bush. Clean cool air.


I don't want to write the whole story, but that is some of it.....hope you liked it!
