The email notification popped up on Amelia's phone, and she gasped. Then she jumped up and down, a giggle escaping her lips. Her essay about rescuing a stray dog? Published as an example! She had poured her heart into that piece, hoping it would reflect her personality.

She immediately grabbed her car keys, already planning to drive to her favorite bookstore. She needed to buy a notebook, to start writing again. She needed to jot down some ideas, maybe even try to write a novel.

The world seemed brighter, the colors more vivid, as she sped through the streets. A song on the radio made her sing out loud, her voice a little shaky with sheer exhilaration.
