Mexico? I set an entire short story in “Europe” when I was eight or nine XDXD
“Everything is a mountain”
That was my assumption until they mentioned kit-kats and I was like WHAAAA??? lol
Any noun can become a verb if you don't care enough.

LEFSE FOREVER!!!!!! <333Lol XD
Maybe he’s a time traveler 👀Any noun can become a verb if you don't care enough.
I just read Pontoon Boat Catastrophe. IT WAS AMAZING. I’m crying from laughter.
The squirrels are collecting more nuts than usual this winter. I've already lost 3 relatives.
Here are some of the worst part of my old duck story draft. The worst thing is, I actually showed it to my arch-nemesis thinking it was good!!! I was thirteen. I should have known better.😬
“I know who this is!” she exclaimed. “It’s the rebel leader that we call The Dope! He held a meeting last night, which I attended as Arielle Teal. I’ve found out his name. It’s Eli.”
“I’ll call him The Dope anyway,” Natalie decided.
“Me too. He has rounded up a lot of other discontented humans and has almost convinced several ducks to join. He-”
“Wait a minute,” Natalie interrupted. “This Eli person is a friend of Pig-Sty!”
“No,” whispered Amethyst. “Please no. He can’t have betrayed us! Not Pig-Sty!” Natalie’s eyes filled with tears.
“I know, but this is not a time to dwell on old friendships. This is a time to think about the fate of the kingdom!” Natalie beckoned to a nearby guard. “Fetch Pig-Sty and bring him to me at ONCE!!!”
Why are there so many speech tags? Why is so melodramatic? That last line really didn’t need 3 exclamation points.
When Pig-Sty arrived back at his house, he immediately wrote a desperate letter to Eli. “Dear Eli,” it began. “Queen Natalie thinks that you are leading a rebellion and that I am a part of it! I have already been fired from my position as Chief Spy, and my trial is tomorrow at two o’clock. Please help me. Your friend Pig-Sty”
If he’s the chief spy, why is he writing a known enemy?
ed full of ducks and even a few humans. At the end sat Queen Natalie, dressed in scarlet, eyes blazing, and King Bob, calm and regal, with little Prince Millard seated on his lap. Beside them were Crown Princess Quacky, and Princess Mallory. All eyes were on Pig-Sty. He gulped. Natalie stood.
“You, Pig-Sty, have been convicted of TREASON!!!!” she proclaimed. “You, a great warrior, inventor, and spy, managed to befriend The Dope himself! A rebel, a known criminal, a Duck Eater!”
Natalie looked slightly sick at the thought of a friend befriending a Duck Eater!
“He would do anything to put another human, HIMSELF even, on the throne. And YOU! Pig-Sty! Supposedly a great spy, a loyal subject, and a good friend, you claim to know NOTHING of this! You were a part of this the whole time, weren’t you? What do you have to say for yourself?”
“I AM INNOCENT!” Pig-Sty shrieked. “If I were going to join a rebellion, why didn’t I betray you to the humans in the last war? Or just assassinated you when you weren’t paying attention? I could have done it easily. And besides, WHERE IS YOUR PROOF ABOUT ELI BEING THE DOPE?”
Why did the court scene turn into a shouting match? AND WHY MUST THEY SAY EVERYTHING LIKE THIS?
Natalie wore an orangey-red dress lined with golden lace, a necklace of amber, and crimson shoes. Her featherdresser sprinkled her with red sparkles, added a golden flower featherclip, and pronounced her stunning. Bob wore burgundy with black buttons, and he and Natalie made a very stylish couple. When they entered the ballroom, everyone stared. All of the ducks were having a wonderful time, until Eli, The Dope himself, showed up with some fellow rebels dressed in outlandish costumes.
Their room had just been ransacked, and I’m not sure why I thought it was a good idea to add a lengthy description of their outfits.
“Leave at once!” she commanded.
“No, I don’t think I will!” Eli retorted, and knocked over the refreshment table, spilling lemonade everywhere.
“You hateful creeps!” screamed Natalie. “This is WAR!!!”
With that, she smashed a ruined cake in his face, and stabbed at him, but he picked her up and threw her across the room, where she lay dazed.
“You JERK!” hollered Allison Lilypad, the Royal Feather Dresser. “NOT THE QUEEN!”
She threw all of her feather glitter over him, making him a sparkly mess.
“ACK! I HATE GLITTER!” Eli bellowed. “Retreat! They have GLITTER!!!!”
“Aw, but you look so cute!” wheedled Emerald Evergreen.
“Even worse!” wailed Eli and ran, followed by the other rebels.
The ducks cheered. King Bob helped Natalie to her feet.
“Allison, you’re a hero!” Natalie exclaimed. “I’ll promote you to anything you want!”
“Thanks!” laughed Allison. “But I like being the Royal Feather Dresser. Eli looked so funny! We should totally use glitter as a weapon!”
“We will!” Natalie replied.
1. Ugh, the sheer amount of speech tags! I overused “With that” in this story as well, and why did I feel the need to caps lock everything?
2. Why didn’t Natalie just stab Eli and be done with it?
3. I still rather like Emerald’s line here.
There’s so much more cringe in this, but I have to go watch magic tricks now.

The glitter scene was hilarious!
Flaz: *yawns* Did the sun just come up? In the west?
I absolutely loved that 😂😂😂 POCKET GLITTER!!!!!!!

LEFSE FOREVER!!!!!! <333Here’s a scene from the end of Chapter 1:
The ducks flew off to meet the rebellion. First they dropped glitter bombs, before flying down. The rebels fled at the onslaught of glitter, all except for The Dope, who attacked Natalie. However, she was ready for him. She flew just out of his reach, darting down and stabbing him whenever possible. Eli finally knocked her out of the air, and raised his sword.
“Oh no you don’t!” scolded Emerald, flying down and knocking The Dope out with his pegleg. The ducks quickly tied Eli up and brought him to the palace for his trial.
“Okay everyone,” Natalie began. “What are we going to do with this Dope?”
The crowds were full of suggestions. “Bake him into a pie!” “Scrape his skin off with a cheese roller!” “Stuff him and use him as a coat rack!”
“SILENCE!!!” hollered Natalie. “Those are all fantastic suggestions, and I cannot deny that he deserves all of them.” Eli whimpered, and Natalie glared at him. “I have a different idea. First, we shall dye his hair with glitter.”
“NOOOOOO!!!!” wailed Eli. Natalie ignored him.
The squirrels are collecting more nuts than usual this winter. I've already lost 3 relatives.
😂
Oh my. Stabbing him whenever possible? How is this guy not dead?
Any noun can become a verb if you don't care enough.
I guess Natalie’s not good at stabbing?😂 And since he’s a real person, my mom wouldn’t let me kill him.

Oh, he’s a human?
That’s fair lol.
