My First Post!

Hi! My name is Emily Hobbes and I live in Quinn's Cove. I will be in 6th grade this year and I'm excited to finally be in middle school. My two best friends, Rupert and Willa, are also starting school with me, although I don't think they are as happy about it as I am. Of course, Rupert spent most of his summer visiting relatives and he's glad he's back home to what he calls 'his normal life' whatever that means. Willa says she'll miss sleeping in but I know she's looking forward to trying out for some of the sports teams.

I've created this blog for several reasons. First, I want to tell the world about life in Quinn's Cove. I've lived here my entire life and there's so much to do and see that I wanted to share it with others. Second, I want to post some of my short stories, or at least my ideas. My favorite hobbies are reading, writing and storytelling. Last year, I worked at the public library after school and read stories to children (ages 4-7 I think). Anyway, this year, the librarian said I could tell my own stories and I can't wait. Do you think they'll like ghost stories? I know I do! I also like mysteries and adventures.

I've been wanting to start my own blog for some time, but my mom is a little nervous about me posting to the Internet. I really can't blame her, so in order to appease her, I agreed not to allow people to comment on my posts. So, I send you my apologies in advance that you can't respond, at least not yet - maybe in the future she'll change her mind:)

Thanks for visiting! Em
