With a huge grin, sparkling inquisitive eyes, a tilt of her head and the mere statement of "More, Mommy!", my 8 year old daughter gave me the courage to continue on my writing endeavor.
Yesterday I read the intro and first 2 chapters of my ongoing attempt at writing a children's chapter book to my 2 girls. Brinly was so excited. She thought the characters were them when in truth the characters are just loosely based on my girls. She started out reading the piece, but then was so impatient I took over and read aloud to both girls. They loved it! I am not sure if it was the fact I had written it or the content. Regardless, it gave me some sorely lacking confidence.
Thus, The Adventures of Hazelbelle and Violet are once more underway. There is a mystery to be solved!
