Also, I wanted to ask everyone if they thought this was a good idea:
I was watching cnn.com today and it was another story about Caylee Anthony. See, I have this biiig problem with people who murder little kids. Those kids will never become teenagers, get married, or even get to the age that their killers are at. (I could rant about that for another half hour, but I'll stop.) I don't know whether or not I mentioned this, but I've started a sequel to the story I just finished. And the first one was dedicated to Emily Mandell, my science teacher's daughter who has a brain tumor. She's three. And I also dedicaed the sequel to her. And all of a sudden I had this really weird urge to not only dedicate the sequel to Caylee also, but to actually create a character named Caylee Anthony. The purpose for that would be to let Caylee live a life through the story. I want Caylee to be able to grow up and have friends, boyfriends, and to make a difference. And then I started thinking about all the other kids who've been mudered. And what if, what if I could give them a life? I wanted to ask if anyone thought it was a good idea. And if you know the names of any kids who've been killed (and you thnk it's a good idea), would you tell me? Because today, my reasons for writing this changed. It went from "write because I love it" to "write to give kids who never had the chance to grow up that chance". I'll post the part of the dedication to Caylee after this. I actually started crying while I was writing it.
And also dedicated to:
Caylee Anthony, a little girl who never got to live.
To the amazing girl I know you were.
May the character of Caylee do justice to who you might have been.
And even though you might not ever get married and have children,
You’ve been blessed, little angel.
I hope that I can give you a life worth living.
I hope I can give you the life you never had.
In memory of Caylee Marie Anthony.
What do you think?

thats a really cool idea... it adds something to your story dont you think, some added importance like it makes it so wordly... i know somebody who wasnt murdered but died of a brain tumor at 3... but there's so many people you could dedicate to, its sad isnt it that there are? that you should have to give these children lives that were taken so horribly away from them? its just terrible, so yeah, very very good idea
Gosh, that made me cry, thanks a bunch.....
i think it's an awesome idea, but obviously you can't make a charcter for every child that has been murder....but you can darn well try!
Maybe expand the dedication to all kids who were murder...or kiddnapped...or are missing....or raped...or abused.....yeah, the list goes on and on
Wow... You rock.... that is not a good I dea, That is one of the best things I have ever herd anyone say.... and it's not everyday I read stuff like this, and it's pretty cool to know that there's still pple that care! so like yeah, totally... Go for it...
