So, today is May third. I'm three days into NaPiBoWriWee, and I've got my third story all drafted in my head. Now, I just need to write it down!
This story is turning out to be more of a entirely picture book with intermittent sentences. The pictures are going to tell the story more than the actual words.
Little Sophie wants to find her mommy the best gift of all, that will tell her "I love you" more than anything else will. However, the little frog she gives mommy, and the mudpie, just aren't the best gifts. It takes Sophie a little while, but she finally manages to find mommy the best gift of all.
This one was actually a breeze to do. I had it all in my head, and I just had to write it down. That NEVER happens to mel
This story I actually started with pictures, first. I inserted some of the dialogue on the paper as I wrote. I think that's why it flowed so easily.

Day Two... Whew!
I got story number two drafted for NaPiBoWriWee. It's amazing, how one's mind feels like it shrinks when there is so little time to write in.
However, this is the basis for story number two.
The young fairies are going to be learning Nighttime Trickery Lessons, and little Bramble Fire-fairy has a secret. She is afraid of the dark.
Bramble needs to figure out some way to create a lantern that she can take out into the darkness with her, without revealing her existence to humans. In the end, she manages to get her pet fairyfly to light up, creating the first fire-fly. The fire-fly becomes her new night-light.
I'll keep you posted. This story was a doozy for me!

Day One... FUN! :-)
Hurray! So I got my first story drafted, and an illustration idea done for it. I'm so e'cited.
Sarah spends her day being someone else. Every time she goes in for a meal, her mommy calls her one thing when Sarah's being someone else. At the end of the day Sarah decides to be just Sarah, so she can get her goodnight kiss.
This is probably the first short-short story I've ever written. I had to think small, but at the same time I had to connect with how a child would view the world.
Thanks to my little sister Jacinta Elizabeth, who was the inspiration for this story. Thank you, Poodle!
