Welcome! (Updated...again)

 Hello, thank you for visiting my blog!

My pen name is E. E. Huckabee. I am a Christian teen writer, and I aspire to be an inspiring author someday. I'm making this blog to interest people in my writing and to, Lord willing, bring people closer to God with my writing. I'm the youngest of five kids, the oldest is a music teacher and dabbles in poetry (and she is quite good at it!), my two big brothers are both engineers, and my big sister is an artist; she dabbles in writing, but I am the only one who is pursuing it as a career. 
The rest of my family is very musical, but I didn't click with it as much, so I felt like the ugly duckling, and like I was letting my family down by not being a musician. After I tried multiple instruments, I decided to pursue a different hobby. I did equestrianism for three years, but dropped it when it got hard. Eventually, I decided to give the wheel to God and let Him take me where He knew was best. That was probably the best decision I made so far. Two weeks later, I watched Greta Gerwig's 2019 adaptation of Little Women, and I had an odd thought: "What if I tried writing?" Actually, knowing me, it was probably more like: "I am going to be a writer." lol.
I looked at my online classes and found a writing club for "aspiring authors." And when I asked my parents, to my surprise, they agreed. I was known to be very non-committal to hobbies, as well as hating reading with a passion. If someone told me to read a book, I would throw a tantrum. Well, 10-year-old me, look at me now. I've already read 9 books this year, and I am working on writing a novel of my own. My family is very supportive, though some of them may not know how dedicated I am to becoming an author. Now, two years later, I am working on finishing my first novel.

I would like to thank Avalon Grace, who has been a close friend from the day I joined the writing club. You stuck with me as I started out and offered to help me improve my writing. To this day, you are the best writing mentor I could ask for. I am truly blessed to have you in my life. Thank you for putting up with my sporadic, over-excited habits and being so patient and goofy with me at every turn.

Lucy, you are such a kind soul, and I still remember our first call together a couple of days after I joined the club. I am so grateful for you and your heart; you deserve the world's kindness, though you don't always get it.

Meggggggg, you are a treasured friend. You never fail to make me grin until my cheeks hurt and laugh until my family looks at me like I'm insane. I hope I do the same to you ;)

AUDREEEEYYYYY wassupppp so, you are always able to lift my mood and you give the best pep talks. Even though I'm really bad at reading your stuff (I'm genuinely so sorry, I'll catch up this summer), you always make time to read mine, and you are my first, favorite (and only) fangirl and I wouldn't change that for the world. I don't even remember how it happened, you immediately became one of my best friends and I can't believe we didn't meet before, but all things happen in God's good timing, I am eternally blessed and I am so glad we are besties. Thank you for putting up with all my goofy questions, and always answering them correctly every time, (and yes our friendship was on the line when I asked you if you would still love me if I was a worm :) Love ya, girly!!!

My dear, dear Sarahhhhhhh!!! I can not imagine not having you in my life. You are my sister by soul, though not by blood. Your smile warms my heart, and I never want to stop hearing your laugh. Thank you for being the big sister I never had, staying up into the middle of the night talking and giggling. My life wouldn't be the same without you. I can't wait to go on more boba runs and browse the library for hours with you for the rest of our lives. **Hugs**

My big brother, thank you for having such good taste in women, Sarah and I would never have met if not for you and I pray every night that she will become my sister-in-law :P

Aviya Zuriiiii, love you! (I'm so excited to meet your niece <3) You have always supported me with my crazy dream and encouraged me through the ups and downs. With all my drama, weirdness and odd habits, I'm kinda surprised you stuck with me, though I guess you are just as weird as I am so we are a good fit for each other. Thank you for all the late night calls and the calls during which we were supposed to be writing, but we totally weren't ;) Keep writing! I can't wait to grow up together and grow closer with every tear, whether from laughing till our stomachs ache at something super stupid, or from a grief that would seem impossible to get over without you. I love you, you little deconstructed taco <3

Cupcake (I can't wait for you to learn where that reference comes from ;), you are weird...and crazy, and perfect. Remind me to stop bringing you to serious situations, I always end up choking on my water or snorting in the middle of a serious conversation. No matter how many times you call me and randomly end up crying for no reason whatsoever, I will never get tired of it. I will never forget the day (what was it, like, five years ago? Feel free to correct me; you will anyway.) That you came to church in all your crazy, extroverted weirdness, even though I was super weirded out by you, I warmed up to you, and we bonded immediately. And I will never regret that day...Probably XD. 'Kay, Shorty, enough about your adorable self, I know you're enjoying the spotlight too much, go away. Love ya, weirdo <3

And last, but by no means least, my Lord, who gave me this dream and passion. I pray that I glorify you with my writing and I am so excited for the plans you have for me in the future. I'm sorry for the too numerous times I don't trust that you have everything under control and try to take the wheel, I always end up in a ditch when that happens. Thank you for being so patient and merciful with me and please continue to help me grow and learn to love you more and more.

I hope I can continue to make memories with all of you. Thank you for sticking with me through thick and thin. I hope I am just as good a friend to you all as you are to me. Love you all so much!!

The name of my blog came from my brother, and I also use the name "Scribe Scribbles" to refer to the notebooks I write in.

I will be posting as often as possible :)

I hope you have a wonderful day!
