Sissy (my 13 year old) can’t wait to enter! She’s forever writing stories and adding chapters to the stories she’s already written. She also draws elaborate, detailed pencil sketches (and they’re very good!) of all her characters. In fact, one of the things she does most frequently with her online besty friendy is saga. That’s where they take turns (or sometimes work simultaneously) writing a story. It’ll be interesting to see what kind of story she writes for this contest.
Keep watching my blog for a review of a great, affordable creative writing tool!
