Any writing coming out of the workshops so far, that you'd like to share? We would love it if you post comments here. And keep checking back for writing from other folks.
Hi i know i'm only 12 but here's a little something i wrote in my spare time, it's got a dose of fantasy hopefully you don't mind that, here we go:
Dear Diary, May 6th 2009 Today i did it again, i don’t understand how but i did it. I can't tell father though it's hard. I need SOMEONE to talk to about it but i doubt Merlin is going to pop out of nowhere and teach me ''The ways of the Mage''. If i ever told father he’d simply shake his head saying ‘’i’m a little boy with a strange imagination’’ and i should hurry up and finish my chores. Tommorow’s another dreadfull day at the farm alot more chores than usual. We’re out of food and i need to replace that blade i broke yesterday so i’ll probably end up doing the weekly shopping. Better concentrate on the work at hand tommorow if i don’t want father to give me a long loud lecture about how boys my age should shutup listen and learn. y’know,it's a bit unfair, im not that little 9 is vert big for me - i should have more respect than i do now. atleast my brother dougie knows how it feels he gives me a little of his daily earnings at the end of the week, father always spoils him. About what i did today, i managed to make the book levitate above my head this time, i’m getting better...wait is that even a good thing? Whenever i try building up the energy i feel magic deep inside me as if it’s being fueled from my soul- as cheesey as it sound that is exacly how it feels like. I don’t understand it either. I have to sleep early tonight ready for ''another blessing of a day as father calls it. so goodnight i’ll write again.
I hope you liked it, i just sat here and corrected everything so i hope you read the whole thing, if you like writing you should enjoy reading, like me :).
