*deep breath*
Here, as we end this year, I want to truly appreciate some of what I’ve seen this year.
I would have loved to give awards to my entire class, as I have savored the time we’ve spent together in creating one of the best classes of my entire life! You are all such wonderful writers, whatever angle or style you prefer! Truly, a class of this kind takes courage and determination, and you’ve all showed that. It’s been amazing, even if I haven’t had time to read all your novellas (or even most of them).
So, before we go any further, here’s my class-wide
award:

“Mommy, look at this!” My pink skirt twirls around. It could match a crown. “I’m Aurora! Look, Mommy, look!”
Mommy’s busy tying a light pink bow on Priscilla’s gray gown but throws a quick grin my way. “I know! And your cousin Sara is right out of a fairy book…” Mommy turns to focus on braiding rosy ribbons through Priscilla’s updo.
“I know! I know!” I’m dancing now, spinning round and round. “I’m so happy, Mommy! And Aurora didn’t throw big bwossoms – bl-l-lossoms – is that right, Mommy?” I don’t wait for Mommy to say. “But I will! I…
