Company: my own, mostly

Bio: I am a 30 year cattle farmer. I have 4 children (3 girls and 1 boy) who range in age from 7 years down to 2 months. I am married, been with the same woman now for 10 years. I have worked as a cook, salesman, tailor, engineer's assistant, and also a bomb maker . I have been writing my entire life (really I mean that like all of it even way down into 'em baby years) and still, feh, not so good. I wish there was more to say about me but no such luck. Oh, yes you can all just call me, Jesse. I have seen the trouble people have when replying to me and they find that they must use that awkward JMitch79 business...so my name is Jesse and you may call me by it.

The Nowhere

An Introduction

By Juliana Mitchell age 7

The Nowhere was a polace with creatures very wierd like two-headed ducks, people who live in palm trees and eat nothing but small pieces of plastic, dogs with wings and cows with four heads. It was a very happy place until the fire-heads came. The lizsnakes almost all faded away and the talking trees killed them all. Peace was but far from STAYING!

by Eve Mitchell age 6

b rektfist

Keep encouraging these kids to write. Their imaginations will take them in reality to places even we as adults can't imagine!

I can see they inherited the artistic gene from their parents. Wonderful!

Proud papa and what a wonderful thing to do for your little girl's. Great intro into writing for fun and creativity! A gift from you to them that will keep on giving! Nothing better than the minds of our little ones to teach us things we have long forgotten. Rated for fatherly love and inspiration.

You've got to be kidding me. I can't write this good. The first story I think she stole from Hunter S. Thompson in the Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas book. The 6 year old's poem is great. They need their own posts!

Love the stories so descriptive and to the point. As far as the spelling goes I always say, if a person can only think of one way to spell something they are being lazy.

Good job Juliana and Eve. Keep practicing and making daddy proud and some of us jealous!

This is painfully (seriously) cute. Yes, they definitely got the artistic genes. God bless. Rated for adorable.

First of all, I think it's really awesome that you didn't deviate from the original text. I think that adds to the over all charm of both of these pieces. Your little girls have real talent, by the way. If Juliana ever continues "The Nowhere" I'd be excited to see it. The poem is beyond adorable; it was like the reader's digest version of a Discovery Channel special. Thanks for sharing these!

Oh and your tags are silly! You need to quit selling yourself short, SIR, you have talent, OK?? Geez. =P

Juliana and Eve, well done, girls! My first poem in nursery school was called "My Daddy Is So Fat." Rated with two big thumbs up!

The Nowhere gave me the chills...Juliana has either been reading HST or CS Lewis...and The Little Spider...Eve puts herself in the spider's perspective...she clearly wants to go back to bed after b rektfist. Well done! xox

I'm so glad to see young talent here. I am intrigued by the "lizsnakes" and enchanted by the spider's walk. I couldn't have started the day better - please, please tell Juliana & Eve that they have a fan!

"but far from staying" = I like that line. And lizsnakes sound scary but cool.

I am glad the spider got exercise and made it safely home!

Well done Little Juliana and Eve. One thing I like about them both is that they are open ended so anytime you want they can grow.

Thanks for sharing these little gems, Jesse. "Nowhere" is redolent of "Jabberwocky", and I can almost hear a 6 year old Eve reciting "The Little Spider" to me. Rated twice , one for each.

I love baby literature. It is so free and surreal. They must write more for us!

Really wonderful images--the fireheads and the little spider on his walk. Very sweet, and revealing some very promising talent! Hugs & encouragement to them both.
