And the newest graduate is....

I'm excited to announce another Reach for the Stars writing workshop graduate: Sarah. She's worked hard and has truly earned her certificate, which will be on its way to her in a day or two:


Sarah has been diligent to complete her lessons, takes suggestions, and has really grown as a writer since last fall, when she began. Congratulations, Sarah! I asked our newest graduate a few questions about her experiences with the workshop, and here's what she had to say:

1) What was the main reason you decided to participate in the Writing Workshop?

Because I love reading and I was really interested in writing books.

2) Which lesson did you find to be the most helpful to the kind of writing you do, and why?

Lesson 9 (Beginnings), because I think every story I read that doesn’t have a good beginning to it, I can never read. I’ll read it, but it’s not that interesting for me.


3) Which lesson was the most FUN and why?

Hmmm...I would have to say...Lesson 12 (Dialogue), because I love when people talk. LOL ok well that was funny but what I meant was I like it when there is more entertainment, well it’s hard for me to explain.

 
4) Is there anything you learned from the writing workshop that you feel will "stick" with you the longest, and that you will really use when writing your stories? If so, what is it?

It’s probably indenting when people talk in lesson 12.

5) Are you working on a story now? If so, can you give us a nutshell summary? Will you be posting your story on your blog?

It’s about this girl who lost her mom and dad and is very mad and sad about it but trusts God in the same time to help her with this ungrateful family.  Yes I am going to put it on my blog. Maybe not every single entry I put out, but every couple entries or so. Go  here to read my blog: Sarah

Your student who is now a writer,

Sarah

PS. Thanks soooo much, Mrs. Susan, for teaching me these things in my lessons. I kind of wish there was more.

No that was NOT written because I didn't like my stew. We don't eat stew very often anyway. It was going to be soup but I thought that stew sounded better:-)

Yes, I can see what you mean. People in the real world aren't perfect, so my character shouldn't be perfect either. I think Malory needs to be stubborn, like myself, and Sarah isn't always nice to her siblings as she is her friends and parents.

Thanks for the input!
