Dear Judy:

Dear Judy: As I scrolled anxiously through my inbox, flipping through needless letters, hoping for an answer, I suddenly realized that out of all the emails Ms. Blume receives, I was taking an awful heck of a chancer. And soon enough, there at the top of the pile, there it was: An email from Judy Blume. My face lit up like a match to a lighter, and I beamed a great big smile, shining brighter than the fullest of the "blooming" full moons. Full of inspiration for my being a compassionate writer, and much knowledge gifted from her to me for my being able to succeed, The brilliant Ms. Judy Blume had surely given me all the information I would need. And soon enough, before the blink of an eyeball, here I am now, signing autographs, and at last, giving all the advice I can possibly afford to give in this competitive literary market, to younger students than me, I am now using the quote that Judy Blume secretly told me: Read, read, read and write, write, write. And now, from the dear Judy Blume, to me, I wish you all a good night. (Something Seemingly Insignificant and Unexpected Changed My Life – Poetry Contest) 8/24/16
