I'm back again! I know-it's soon! I just don't always have this amount of time to write on my blog.
Okay, so now I have a challenge for you.
Sorry about this font issue. I'm getting annoyed here with this blog thing. It's acting up on me.
So...do you have extra time this holiday? How about do some writing? (Sorry again...this is acting up, and I'm just going to ignore the problems, instead of driving myself crazy trying to fix them!).
Try writing a tailored children's story. Think of a child you know. What do they like? What do they dislike? What do they want to be when they grow up? What's their favourite toy? What do they fear? Do they have a sibling? Is there issues in being kind/generous/sharing/etc. ? Write a story about it!
I had such a fun time writing a story for a little girl. I just relaxed and wrote a fun little story about a rather magical tea party that she had with a pony and dragon, and later, with her little sister. It was such fun to write it!
Another story I had written for little kids was for my music teacher's kids. Give them each a pony or horse, send them to a competition, and let them all win prizes. They were delighted!
I wrote a story about a butterfly, that also included reference to a sibling. They were NOT delighted, because they thought that they should have gotten more of a certain treat in the story...:D The toils of writing to please little siblings!
Recently I wrote another story (recently being...November???? End of October??!!). I guess not THAT recently! Anyway, that one was about a little girl building a sand castle and enjoying a warm day at the beach. :D (I love beaches!)
So, try to write a short story (a page or so; my tea party story was in two parts, and was much longer, but I want to edit it down to a short story), and then read it or give it to the child you wrote it for. See how much joy you can find in writing a story! Hopefully, the kids will enjoy it as well!
Anyway, I know this is a bit short, but believe me- a VERY LONG post is coming up, so get ready to read on Dec. 30th (I think)!
I think I'll go enjoy the great outdoors and reading some other blog entries by a friend!
God bless ya'll!
