My favorite entry I wrote was the second part of my story of Serena, the girl who can step inside of art. I hope to continue her story. My second Idol entry about Serena is here:

xeena isn't a Viking, but she was definitely a worthy opponent this season and is a very talented writer. One of my very favorite parts of participating in Idol for over a decade are the friends I have met. In the following entry, I wrote an open letter to my new friend xeena

This was a really nice curation of your season to this point. You did a really nice job with your new prompts and picked some fantastic "oldies." Really nice job with your portfolio, Maria!
