Free A Year in the Life of a Complete and Total Genius by Stacey Matson

answer that for you: SO AWESOME LOL!!!
    ANYWAY, how is your story coming along? I totally realized that I haven’t read ANY of it yet! I think I’m almost done with mine! I made it so that the aliens are really good at mind control and then my main character doesn’t know if she’s under MIND CONTROL or if it’s all a dream! If you want, you can send me your outline!! Of course, only if you’ve actually written something! Just kidding—I’m just making fun of you since you haven’t sent me anything! You’re so SECRETIVE! LOL! But seriously, you can TOTALLY send me something! I want to be helpful! PLUS, I’m going to send you the rest of my story SOON too!

    Wow, Kennedy!
    It sounds like your story gets better every week. I love the new twist! It reminds me of that thing that Shakespeare talked about—a dream within a dream—but I think your version is way cooler.
    My story outline is still pretty rough. I’m just torn over what story to go forward with. I have so many stories almost done, but I don’t know which to finish first. Anyway, maybe you could help me choose one.
    Here is a list of my story ideas:
    1) There is a boy who is the going to be the King, but he is too small to do anything and he is really poor. He meets a wizard who is living backward in time, and he trains the boy to become the greatest king of all time. Then the wizard ends up getting stuck in time, but the boy becomes the King anyway because he finds the sword of the True King, and then leads a really great army and falls in love with a beautiful woman who becomes queen.
    2) There is a boy who lives in a society that doesn’t have any memories, but he becomes the Memory Keeper for everyone in their village. He learns that his parents are part of the group of people who are making sure that no one has any memories. Then he finds out terrible things about the community and has to do something to change it.
    3) There is a land over the stars where everything is very magical. A boy who lives there is the leader of a group of orphan boys and he can fly. He leaves the land and comes to New York. He meets a girl and her brothers and they have adventures with the boy. They meet pirates and mermaids and lions that can talk and stuff. They love being there, but then they realize that they would rather be at home with their parents, so after fighting with the evil guys on the island they end up flying home and being happy.
    4) There are these pirate aliens that take over spaceships and then make the people in them do different things. But everyone in the spaceship gets old really fast and then they die. They don’t know what to do so they go to Earth and get in the bodies of the grandparents. And then there’s this change in the old people and they become really happy and energetic all the time and they start to play like kids. They take over the playgrounds, and the kids get mad. So the kids go to the elves that live under the bridge in the city and they want to get their playground back. But the elves are fighting with dragons outside the city, so they need to get the giants on their side of the fight. But the kids don’t know that the dragons exist so they decide to get the dragons to help them fight the grandparents. But the grandparents all disappear and get on the alien spaceship, but they don’t have enough oxygen to go back to their planet so they stay floating just above the city. So one boy who doesn’t have parents realizes that the spaceship has his grandparents in it because he lives with his grandparents. Then he finds the giants and they fight the aliens, and they win. And the grandparents go back to being themselves, but they have to share their houses with the giants because the giants won the war. And then they all have to get used to
