A proud moment

Coming home today, I was telling my son about Nano. He said he'd like to do that when he grows up, so I explained that there's the Young Writers' Program and that I could sign him up for that if he wanted to try, and we'd check to see what kind of word count goal they suggested for his grade. So, I now have a junior Wrimo in-house!

Did I mention he's 4, and in junior kindergarten? We've set a word goal of 200 for him, and he typed out the first 32 words tonight (with numerous spelling consults from me), so he's waaaay ahead of me, percentage-wise. So far his story is about a horse and a snowman going to the ice cream store; when we left off, a big giant monster had just arrived. I have *no* idea where that's going, but the same could be said about my novel at this point...

Aw, that is so sweet!

Adorable and wonderful. :)

That's both awesome and adorable! :D

This is the best!

awww!!! love that!

That's so adorable!

Congratulations! You must be super-proud of him. :D And his story sounds really fun to write. Good luck to the both of you!

That's so sweet!! Sounds as though he's writing a pretty action filled story ;)

Awesome :o)

That is so cute!

Hooray! And thanks for sharing that with us. :D

Thats awesome! A new legacy of young wrimos!!

Agreed. Adorable.
I love kids. they have the most incredible unrestrained imaginations ever. No logical fallacies. I find that once your brain grows out of the good guys vs bad guys phase everything becomes so much more complicated.
Only in a childs imagination can a sea monster eating gummy bears battle a giant with an inflatable hammer.

Fantastic! :D

Awesome!!!

That is awesome! Plus, his story sounds better than mine already!! :P

That's adorable!!! It's so great that he's already into writing. :)

Winning :) You never know, he might become a prodigy.

That's awesome!

I love this story! Thanks for sharing :)

I work with kids and I'd love to do writing activities with them. I might give them the same challenge of doing 200 words in a month.
