Hey Everyone! This week I'm going to tell you a little bit about my writing journey.     

    The first story I wrote that was more than just a few pages was about two kids who find a magic board that allows them to communicte with spirits. I had lots of fun writing it but it took me a while. I just wrote it because my cousins were writing books and I thought 'hey why don't I try this writing thing out!'. After editing, I decided to leave it for a while and began to think of many more ideas for novels and longer pieces of writing. Sometimes it is hard trying to come up with an idea you want to stick with for an entire story. In the end I decided to make up a single character, and imagined him in different scenarios that could potentially turn into full-length books.
    
    I'm inspired primarily by things that I've done and places I've been. Another source of inspiration is books that I've read, such as the Harry Potter series and The Hunger Games. They made me think about the extent of possibilities in the writing world. 
    
   Being in the QPK Society has encouraged me to write more and improve my writing skills. I enjoy sitting with the other group members and talking about how to make my writing better. I hope to continue with some short story projects and maybe work on a novel.
Happy writing!!!
