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,

Excursion to the city
On Tuesday
we went to the city to see all the icons like the art centre spire, fed square, flinders
street station, S.T PAULS cathedral, the shrine ,the botanical gardens and the yarra yarra river.
The
first thing went to was the art centre spire. Bars on the stairs were all
golden like gold.
The second
thing we did was go to the yarra
yarra river and when we sore rubbish like bottle caps and plastic bags.
The
third thing we went to was S.T PAULS cathedral and inside it was clean like a
person has been cleaning for their hole lives.
The 4th thing we went
to was finder street station and there were shops and 1 of the shops were full
of lolies. When we waked past me and my friend Fonda got really, really hungry
and lunch was 1 hour away. So when we went to the bus to go to the shrine. When
we got to the shrine it was 3:30 and we only had half answer left so we went
inside and looked at the flags and then we went back to school and then we went
home.
