Hi there! Thanks so much for inviting on your blog. What a great idea to have a blog for young writers. When I was growing up we didn't have blogs – we didn't even have computers! Can you imagine that? Yep, that was the olden days, where I rode around in a horse and cart (no, not really – we had cars by then) and everything I wrote was by hand. Sometimes I still prefer to write my stories by hand. I always carry a notebook with me because you never know when a good idea is going to come to you. My notebooks are full of ideas: things I remember from my childhood, drawings, snippets of conversations I may have heard, even cuttings from newspapers and magazines that interest me. Sometimes I might even begin a story in my notebook, then when I feel it begin to take shape, I'll begin to type it out on my computer. A notebook is a great place to practice your writing. Because, like everything, if you want to be good at something, what do you have to do? Yep, that's right – practice! Imagine if you were a runner and you turned up on race day to run your 100 metre sprint without having done any practice. You wouldn't do your best run, would you? Well, writing is just the same. The more you practice in your notebook, the more likely it is that when you do finally sit down at the computer, the ideas will flow. The more you write, the better you get at writing. Good luck! And have fun.

Best wishes,

Noisy like thunder

A big digger

Floppy ears

Different sizes

Its flexible moves

Happiness giver

Loves its owner

Soft and rough fur

Cuddly like soft skin

It’s a dog

It was raining

It was flying through the sky

Like a dash of thunder

It made the clouds so unhappy

So was I

But when the rain stops

It made me happy again to smile 

It is sad By Abigail

Happy is Yellow like the gleaming sun reflecting on the nice summer waves
 
It’s as tasty as the hot cheese melting in your mouth from the nice thick pizza
 
It smells as refreshing as a fresh forming daisy
 
It looks like candy falling from the multi-colour rainbow
 
It sounds like nice relaxing party music
 
It feels like a nice squishy marshmallow

Happy


Purple like ripe grapes

It taste like a sweet strawberry

 It smells like roses in a wedding

 It looks like it is a day with a rainbow in the sky

It sounds peaceful sitting in a daisy patch

It feels relaxing and sweet like a strawberry
