This would be extremely interesting. I would love to go to an Amazon expedition with s scientist. WoW!! I enjoyed reading this contest entry and good luck.

I met a Peruvian scientist and explorer and I started following her on Instagram (comma after 'explorer')

Since then I've been researching and writing, but ,as I told her, (move comma closer to 'but')

The Amazon is fascinating: and I'm not talking about the giant retailer of mostly Chinese junk. And I'm sure you were excited to be selected to write the blog. Thanks for sharing.

Were you invited to go on an actual Amazon tour, and chose to do the virtual one? Man, that would have been quite the adventure. I know you'll be busy with the blog, but I hope we get a peek at some of your writing occasionally.

Thanks for sharing.

    When she posts, I'll ask her if I'm allowed to share.

Hey Maria :)
It would definitely be an adventure though, yes?!
I think you're brave enough... I mean, you contacted the lady and volunteered your writing services - I would never be brave enough to do that!
I'm going to watch the YouTube video now.
Good luck in the contest.
Take care, Debra x

    Well, it's not very brave to write when you are hiding behind Instagram. But the forest is not for me...

Excellent entry for the True Story Flash contest. You followed the rules well and your short story is very comprehensive. Good luck in the contest


"but ,as I told her, I'll" check the comma spacing.

    I've already changed the comma spacing.

That's a cool story. An invitation to the Amazon would be hard to turn down! I do understand the safety concerns, though. I think the surprise and excitement came through well in your narrative.

How cool is that!! I think you could still write a blog for her but not have to travel with her. I would imagine you could get really sick if bitten by something in the Amazon jungle. But you could write about her adventures! Great story! Best wishes in the contest!

    That's my idea. I'll keep on writing for her from the comfort of my own home.

I have been to the Amazon rain forest and it was quite an experience. The people who live there, battle with the seasons and risk their life when there is flooding. They are hardy and brave and survive with very little. I have seen some amazing sights, including colourful wild tropical birds and pink dolphins. It sounds like you have made a fine friendship here and long may it continue Heather, a fine post, love Dolly x

An excellent try for the True Story flash contest. This sounds like an exciting and educational opportunity to learn new things while honing your craft. I also agree with you that a virtual learning experience at this point in life (mine at least) would be the way to go. Good luck in the contest.
