52. Nightmare Academy by Dean Lorey

Charlie Benjamin has always had nightmares, but unlike most kids, his come true and wreak havoc on the world around him.  One night, just when Charlie is about to be gobbled up by a 5th level creature, a motley assortment of characters comes tumbling into his bedroom to save him and tell him what his future could hold.  Charlie has The Gift and can use it to banish nightmares back to their world.  Soon he is enrolled at Nightmare Academy where he learns to harness his fears, find friends at last and discover what his Gift can do.  But soon disaster strikes and his parents are kidnapped.  Can Charlie and his new friends save them in time?  A fun twist on nightmares.  The illustrations were fantastic and really made the story come alive.  I can’t wait to see what happens to Charlie and his friends next.

El verano se acerca al sur del continente y con ello, crecen nuestras ganas de sol y de playa.

66. Would You Ever...Do Something Really Scary?

Now, I'm not necessarily talking something death-defying, like jumping out of an airplane or single-handedly chasing down a mugger. But we all have moments in our lives when we can choose to take the risk... or stay safe at home. When I look back, I think I've taken those risks all my life. (Though at the time they didn't seem all that risky.) You be the judge...

My First Scary Thing

When I was five years old my family lived in Montreal, Canada. I rode the bus to school every day--my mom walked me to the bus stop every morning and met me there every afternoon. One day, I got on the bus, she said, "I'll see you after school." Somehow, I thought that meant my dentist appointment was that day and she would be picking me up at school. When school got out, I told the bus driver my mom was picking me up and, after much cajoling, he left without me. My mom, of course, never showed up. (My appointment was the next day.) After waiting a while I decided (at five years old, mind you) that I needed to walk home. Several miles away. Across the busiest intersection in Montreal. Finally, as it started to rain, I asked a young woman at a bus stop how far it was to my street. When she realized how far from home I was, she took me home with her and called my parents. Needless to say, I do not recommend taking this kind of risk--if for no other reason than it makes your parents a little overprotective for then next twenty-five years.

Other Scary Things

  1. When I was 17, I graduated high school in Springfield, Missouri (about as Midwest-ville as you can get) and started college in New York City. I met amazing people for other cultures and countries and realized just how broad the spectrum of the world really is.
  2. Halfway through my sophomore year at said college, I decided to give up my Ivy League education and transfer to the University of Colorado. This turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made. I grew more emotionally and socially as a person in Colorado than at any other time in my life.
  3. For my graduate program (at the same aforementioned NYC university) we had to do a summer internship. The one I landed was being site manager for an historic dude ranch in Rocky Mountain National Park. My housing was an on-site cabin that had been built in the 50s. It had electricity and hot water, but no phone and my cell service was spotty at best. There was one other couple in another cabin, but other than that the nearest people were at the visitor's center ten miles away. It was just me, 1" of June snowfall, a Hanta-virus toting mouse population, and a valley full of elk and moose. You learn a lot about yourself in that kind of solitude.
  4. During that graduate program, my thesis adviser said something that changed my life forever. "Tera," he said, "you are a very effective writer." I'm sure he meant in the academic writing world kind of way, but those words gave me the courage to believe that writing really could be my (forgive the dramatics) destiny. From that tiny seed of courage, I set about learning as much as I could about the writing profession and industry and, eventually, sent my stuff out. I think letting others read something as personal and emotional as your writing is a huge risk--but oh so worth it.
The Next Scary Thing

At the end of the summer I'm moving back to my beloved Colorado. That's it, that's the extent of my plan. I have no day job lined up, no close friends or family in the area, I haven't even decided where exactly I'm going to settle down. But I know that Colorado is my home--a place of inspirational beauty--and that writing is my path. So, I'm jumping in there, with every desperate intention of making writing my full time life. It may be a little bumpy along the way... but I bet it's worth it in the end.

So, question of the day is: What scary things have you done? And did the rewards outweigh the fear?

Hugs,
TLC
