Now You’ve Got Me Thinking

Welcome to the Now You've Got Me Thinking, Real Diary For Girls. This may not be your first, first diary, but it will be your first REAL diary. Sure, you might have been given a diary before where you haven't really known what to write. Because keeping a diary can be so much fun, you might have gotten excited when you first got it and filled in a page or two, but you probably couldn't always think of what to write, so you stopped writing it and it finally ended up under your bed covered with a lot of the cat's fur. (Why is cat's fur so awesome when it is actually on the cat, rubbing up against your cheek when you are going to bed, but so totally gross when it is all balled up and stuck to your old diary when it hangs out under your bed for too long?) Anyhow, the Now You've Got Me Thinking, Real Diary For Girls is TOTALLY different from any diary you have had before. This one helps you figure out cool stuff to write. It will start some cool sentences that you will have fun finishing. (You might even want to use some of these questions for a party game or sleepover with your BFFs!) This is a place where you can share some great stories, express your worries, and even work out some problems for yourself. You can tell your most private secrets because this book is just for you. Here is how it works: Each day gets three pages. Like one of those boring old regular diaries, you start each day with today's date. You gotta have that because it'll be fun to look back at it later and know when it was that you were writing about. And it starts with a little section, "Today I..." That's where you write a little about what happened to you today. You know, "Went to school, got there on time... for once. It was raining, so had to have indoor recess...BORING..." So, that's pretty basic, right? Not much different from those other diaries? Well, this is where this ultracool diary really rocks. This one helps you write some more stuff and gets you thinking. (See why it's called the Now You've Got Me Thinking, Real Diary For Girls?) See, then it asks a few questions that you'll get every day, that will get you to think a little more about your day and what to write about. Like, "I am proud about..." and you'll write "I FINALLY got my round-off back handspring. I was so super excited because I have been working on that for so long. Yeh, me!" See? I bet you wouldn't have thought to write about that in one of those boring old regular diaries. So, there are a few of those regular questions you'll get every day. Then there is room at the end of those sections to get into more details about something big that happened. That's where you'll see: "Now I also need to tell you about..." That might be where you write about a worry you are having or a fight that two friends of yours are having. If you write about it, sometimes it will help you sort it out. And then comes the real fun...The EXTRAS. These are the fun, party game type topics that really get you thinking like, "If I were an animal I would be a..." and you'd write, "bird, because I love, love, love to sing". You'll never have trouble answering these, especially ones like: "Sometimes my brother/sister is so..." and you'll write, maybe, "annoying. He follows me and Margot around whenever she comes over after school and he's always trying to come in my room. Doesn't he know what PRIVACY means???" Some more fun ones are: "My parents are proud of me because I...", and "One thing that worries me about getting older is...", and "I could work harder at...". So many fun questions to answer, so little time! So, Write on, Sisters!
