Amanda likes to write. I think that it comes from her love of reading. In fact, I myself remembering wanting to be able to write something as good as what I was reading. I remember writing a Little House on the Praire type story in the 5th grade in school. So, when I started a story with Amanda this summer, I was quite impressed with her realistic dialogue. I will type it pretty much as she wrote it, misspellings and all.
Chapter 3
The Company
"The company's here!" Mom said. "Oh!" I said. "I know who that is!"
"I don't," said Sam. "Those are my cousins!" "Let us introduce ourselves," said Leo. "My name is Leo and I'm 11. This is--" "I'm Lucy. I'm 10. This is--" "I'm Cassie and I'm 8. This is--" "I'm Rickie. I'm 4, and this is--" "Woof!" "This is Spot, right?"
And from
Chapter 7
Don't Tell!
I went into the room. "I i i warrnnnedd youuuuuu," the voice said, "AHHHHHH!" I screamed. A dim light shone. "W-W-W-Where am--Hey! What are you doing here? Did the ghost get you, too?" "No, silly! Ha ha," said Tyler. "You and your friend fell for it," said Rick. "You mean--" I asked. "Yes, the "ghost" is us."

Excellent writing! Amanda is very talented!
Too cute! My daughter aspires to be a writer one day as well. (Well, technically she is a writer now...she just hopes to be a famous one in the future!)
Jennifer, that is awesome! My seven yr old daughter likes to write stories, too...another chip off the ole block here.
But I have to say...Amanda's got some good dramatics going in the storyline- I bet she'll be a writer when she grows up! :)
That's great! You may have a future Best Selling Author on your hands!
I think that Take Your Child to Blog Day is a great idea!
This is great! Love the creativity. Very Nancy Drew.
