Trying to get into the mindset...

So I am attempting to write this little tale, loosely paralleling some stuff that happened to me when I was much, much younger then I am now. Part of this story revolves around some notes that I and the character in the story were passed out of the blue during the seventh grade. My present problem is, do I write the notes out in the story, or simple explain they exist? I think my safest route, and the most believable is to simply intersperse some correct sounding quotes into the story and hope they sound correct. This way I do not really find myself in my present difficulty of either remembering notes from so long ago, or trying to get into the mindset of a seventh grade girl, which seems nearly impossible to me.

Ah the fickleness of writing. I can pump out 2000 words that flow from me like water the one day, and the next find myself hung up on something as silly as a plot device. Heck I don't even know if I want the letters signed or not. I was careful to keep things vague in the first part, but I feel as I have not introduced any characters to confuse the issue, so why bother keeping it vague in the first part?

I suppose this is why I should just crap it out and then rewrite it till it makes more sense. Kind of like this rambling journal entry that no one will read. A chance to get my thoughts into order, and nothing more.
