Friday afternoons are my "writing moments" with my eldest daughter, Eliza. There is a special connection which takes place during this time where we have fun expressing our thoughts, imagination and creativity in writing. You see, both of us love to write - when two persons share an interest, it is more than just a hobby - it has the potential of becoming something magical. For those who have an interest in exploring and expanding your writing flair (and have a fun time with your kids), consider getting Gail Carson Levine's "WRITING MAGIC". It is not a textbook on the science of writing. Rather, it is a very casual and "flowing" book that encourages exploration and experimentation.The topic we did today was a fun one (something to do with friendship, marriage and love) - interestingly, Eliza was just so caught up with it and she just could not keep her pen down the entire evening. This "magic" is likely to persist for the days to come. Now, isn't this better than watching MTV?
To Eliza, she could be writing a fun story, for me, it is a magical memory in the making and moments such as this I cherish dearly.
