I have the vaguest glimmerings of a crazy idea. I'm thinking of attempting to write a book (well...a story) for my littlest sister for Christmas. She loves fantasy, and "little girl" books like Carolyn Haywood's Betsy books...so I'm thinking of attempting something with some of both qualities. Don't really have any ideas yet, but probably something a bit cliched like a magic gate or secret place in the woods or something like that. She'd like it even if it seemed overdone to me.
It'd give me some writing practice before October (albeit at a lighter, more juvenile level) and then I could pick it up again in December so I didn't feel so lost. ;-)
Maybe I'll go for it. Gotta do some pondering.
Kewl! Are you going to make your sister the main character?
What a sweet idea for your little sister! I know she'd treasure it, even if YOU didn't think it was a good story, just because her big sister had done it for her.
