I know that I am an exception, but I like Shannon. I don’t think she can sit still long enough to write a story, let alone a book, but she can think up good stories.
OK, so apparently the whole thing with Luann and Mrs. Horner didn’t actually result in any meaningful change since she’s still taking a bunch of random classes next year with no direction and has no interest in doing anything medical. So what was the point of that whole storyline again?
I like that Bernice has steered Shannon into wanting to write a book. Writing a book may get Shannon interested in reading a book and that’s a good thing.
Bernice is surprisingly good at talking to Shannon. They decorated Christmas cookies together in the past and looked like they had fun. Writing a book together could be a way to connect and make Bernice a better person. Someone capable of helping others and inspiring them… Nil was right in asking her to be his muse! In the past Shannon loved reading books alone, but this was shortly after she met Brad, when she was alone at least for some hours every day, without anyone to play with and angry.
people complain that Bern is boring; well she’s wearing a cooking pot on her head and helping Shannon (whom people also complain about) to become more productive and less destructive. Maybe these two will come together in a positive way.
So what’s the over/under on us ever finding out why Mrs. Horner collapsed?
And to those who say it was just a plot device to show how good Luann is at managing medical emergencies, need I remind you that she immediately dismissed the possibility of going into medicine, thereby rendering the whole thing moot? What a fun 9-week story that was, where nothing was resolved and nothing new revealed.
Kanye Pest hates books so much when he wrote his autobiography, it was only 50something pages long. Which is weird, because knowing him when he gets to talking about himself, you’d think any book he’d write about himself would literally be a never-ending story.

BLAAAAA.. With Shannon’s limited vocabulary, I doubt a literary blockbuster is in the works.
Now if Monstro wrote a book.. it would be an International Best Seller for sure! ;)

And here we are with the mid-week twist. Shannon will become a better writer than Luann adding to Luann’s misery and self-doubt.

The kid’s partly right. Children should use their imagination. I don’t like the mindless pablum showered on children today.

Okay Bern.
Mistake #1: Giving the kid “ideas.”
The way this is going, Shannon will either:
A) NEVER want to be around Bernice again.
B) Perform a Ginger Banker style “drum solo” on that steel pot Bern is wearing as a “helmet.”
C) ALL of the above. ;-)

Shannon is actually presenting logical counterpoints here. We simply see the differences in personalities.

That might work – but Shannon having a very short attention span, I doubt the book will ever get written.
