Rekindled Love

So my son read his story The Story of Me: The Reaper's Son    
and asked me when I was writing the next story because he wants to know what happens. He asked me if I could have the next story done for his birthday.

So I have. I am on the 6th page of the story. Keep in mind that I am writing this by hand. I have certain things mapped out to where I want the character Erik to go but sometimes I get nothing and just put it out of my mind for a few days.


Meanwhile he has read his cousin Gabbie's story Magic , his cousins Derik and Dylan's story The Shadows and his sister summed up what her story The Unknown was about.

I am glad I started writing his story now because I know there is a lot of work to be done for something as simple as writing him a story. It has to keep him interested so it has to flow right.

To check my work I'll read it aloud. Sometimes to get my son hyped about the story, I will read snippets to him and see how he reacts to it.

He is my target audience for most of the stories I have written. In all honesty, he is my inspiration.

I stopped writing in 12th grade. I think mostly due to the fact that I had moved out and moved in with my boyfriend (my hubby now). I was no longer a kid. I was a responsible adult. I didn't have to be. That is until I got pregnant. That's when my priorities changed.

I think my son was five when I wrote him his first story. A Pirate's Treasure.   Soon after that I wrote him a Christmas Story The Best Christmas EVER and that's how I rekindled my love for writing stories.
