Summer is here! By now, most of you ought to be on Summer Break, or at least starting Summer School. Just remember that while it is sunny, warm, and fun outside, your computer demands attention as well. Well, to be fair, your leaders. We're still here, offering competitions, prizes, and putting work in, so don't forget about the DB all-together! Last night I submitted my first project proposal to Muz and Halc. Depending on how they respond to it, I may be able to release its full name to you in my next report! Yay secrets!

Remember: When submitting to a competition, include your name and pin in the email and in the document as well. Remember to send the entry to your leaders as well so they can track your activity. Also, when writing a story, remember to stick to one perspective. If you start in 1st person, remain in 1st person. If you start in 3rd, remain in 3rd. Try to avoid 2nd person PoVs.
