Raine and I had a really great brainstorming session last night. Like me, both my girls love to write. I’m glad some of their teachers notice this. Yesterday Raine was asked to submit an article to the school magazine. All afternoon while in the car, she and I were tossing ideas at each other.

Should I write about Twilight, Mom? Everyone’s so crazy about it at school but I think it’s way overrated :shock: . Or should I do a book review? How about fashion trends? I sure have a lot to say about, oh, never mind, forget I said that *giggle*.

Come dinner time, she’d finally decided she was going to write about Twilight and we discussed the angle. She showed me the piece later and asked me to proofread it.

Going through a piece together is always a great time for us to bond and discuss the finer points of writing.

I see great potential in my children’s writing. They write very well and I love cheering them on. I was never a cheerleader at school but I swear I’m getting pretty good at it now :razz: . Raine was so excited about her piece last night I could almost sense the feverish tingling from across the room. Rah!

    That is fantastic that your daughter likes to write. I haven’t seen the movie Twilight or read the books. I know there is a lot of hype. Does your daughter blog?

    I only watched the movie, haven’t read the books. But Raine, my bookworm, has read them all. Yeah, I think she’s planning to start a blog, yes, I’ll post it when she does :grin: .
