Had eight Young Writers at last week's session. Huge welcomes to new members Timothy and Sthilta (I hope I have spelt that right!). Lovely to see you.
Had the youngsters working on their books and it was a sight to behold, I tell you. Eight little figures, hunched over tables littered with pens, paper, notebooks - all completely focused on their creations - even the new ones. In fact they were so engrossed that I almost felt like I was intruding if I sat too long with one or asked any questions! They just wanted to write write write - exactly like I did at their age (and even do these days - husband Steve says he knows when he's lost me for a while when I get a certain look in my eye - which is usually when I have had a new idea or am mulling over an old one).
I can't tell you how much I admire these talented wordsmiths! And purely because they hang on to every word I say and have put so much of themselves into these books, I have told them that everyone who completes their book by September will get a special award certificate. Believe me they have earned that!
So we have just one more session left before the summer break and that is on 25th July. I will be bringing in some treats that day, I hope you don't mind. But I have told them they can still write if they want to.
So see you all on 25th then!
Good writing, everyone!
