Dear Diary,
Today was a nightmare! All the kids made fun of me when I showed everyone my art painting. I begged Mr. Arte to let me skip my presentation, but he wouldn't let me. Maybe I should just ask him if I can write during Art Class instead. Writing is a form of art isn't it? Even Bailey Smith, my best friend, laughed at my painting. Maybe I should think before I invite her over to my house again. I think she is dying to read my writing because she is always snooping through my stuff. The weird thing is whenever I come home from school my stuff is all moved around. The confusing thing is Bailey doesn't even come to my house when I'm at school because she's at school too! I wonder who it could be?

Love,
Morgan Sullivan

Dear Diary,
I still don't know who is snooping through my stuff, but Bailey is off the list. It has to be someone in my house that is home while I'm at school. That means it could only be my mom or my brother Mason. When I asked Mr. Arte about writing during Art Class he said it was fine as long as I read my writing to the class. Tomorrow my class has Art again and it's presentation day. I think I'll read my story about Josie. I hope the class likes my writing.

Love,
Morgan Sullivan

Dear Diary,
The whole class loved my writing. I can't believe it! I am in so much shock! Mr. Arte even told me that I should become a writer when I get older. I think Mr. Arte knows I have other writing pieces because he told me to bring in another one tomorrow. Mr. Arte took the one I read to the class today. He told me that he was going to try to get all of my stories published!

Love,

Dear Diary,
My book was published! I haven't written in a while because my arm was so tired from signing books. My mom told me she was the one who had been snooping through my room. I feel really bad about accusing Mason of it. Mr. Arte told me to keep writing stories because he wants me to publish another short story book by February!

Love,
Morgan Sullivan
