Lunarium 2

I really need to start thinking of a better title of the second book :)

Well, today is the first official day of Christmas break - no teaching for me for the next 2 weeks, and I'm hoping to get a lot of writing done for the sequel!

I have my little fans asking me when, when, when will it be done???  And if that can't motivate an author - I don't know what can!  So I am so excited to dig in and get a lot written!   I had already started the first chapter a while ago, but this morning - I woke up with a different beginning!  soooooo... I'm scrapping that first chapter and starting fresh!

For all you young writers out there - never let that discourage you!   It's ok to begin again, and again, and again! A good portion of writing a book is editing: making your thoughts clearer - going back and developing your plot - making your characters a little more real, and it's not just ok to do that - it's good and almost always necessary!

Start practicing your writing!  It's just like any other skill!  Practicing will make you better and don't you want to be ready for the contest coming up?  :)  More on that to follow - but for now - just write!  It's so fun to make an entire world where you are the creator!  Anything can happen!  Want to be best friends with a talking pillow?  Write about it!  Want to eat so many marshmallows you start to become one?  Write about it!  Want to save the world with your ability to freeze time?  Go ahead and write about it!  Want to tie your little sister up with licorice and paint her hair with peanut butter?  Definitely do NOT DO that.... but go ahead and write about it!  hehehe  :)

Be creative and enjoy!

I'll be sure to keep you updated on my progress :)  Thanks for checking up on me, friends! (Hi Jonah, Grace, and Billie!!!)

Love you lots!
