It is located in all elementary/middle school libraries. 2. The title causes 87% of little girls to go "oooh! ponies!!" and read the book. 3. 87% of little girls are subsequently traumatized by repeated horse deaths sprinkled amidst prose of dubious quality. In other news, congratulations on your story! The Red Pony is a horrible book for the following reasons:

I am not allowed to read back. I am not allowed to CHANGE. I am not allowed to delete. So! I applaud you! 8 000 words is a respectable amount (notice my canadian flavour in my numbers. I provide an international feel to every blog I visit).
