A DAY IN THE LIFE

A Shorts Series

Tomorrow

Fern's POV

I can do it tomorrow. It's one of those story contests my English teachers always have me do, but I'm not feeling it. I mean, I love seeing my stuff in print. Last year, the contest they had me submit to printed all the stories in a book for us to buy. Mom was unhappy, but each copy is personalized to highlight your kid's work, so it was a printed book that said BY FERN WALTERS on the cover. She had to splurge, but I don't want to make her do that again. I don't even want to do this contest. Why can't I write something bigger for these people? I want to be a truly published author, not a contest winner.

So I'll do this tomorrow, if I do it at all. I'm getting older, so why not do my own thing and pursue my own dreams? I could get published. I know I could get published. I just have to get up and go to my laptop and write.

But school has me so tired. My brain is barely functioning. I'll start that tomorrow, but I'll use today to think and plan. I won't push this off because it's important to me. I want my own book that says BY FERN WALTERS. I'll do what I have to in order to make this happen. I'll learn to do it all.

A/N: This short is dedicated to all those "I'll do it tomorrow" types like myself:D

This is the first in a series called "A Day in the Life," which will basically cover small moments in different characters' lives. If it's in first-person like this entry, I'll tell you immediately who's speaking, but others will be in third-person one-shot style. Other chapters might end up with sequels. Always check the A/N's for more info.

If you have any suggestions, please let me know (nothing inappropriate please).
