Why do you write?

“I write because I like writing stories. I like writing because I like sharing my stories out loud. It’s fun! I like to share them with my parents and my friends. I like funny stories and scary stories. I like writing endings of stories that make people happy. I like writing with my friends because I tell them scary stories–they get really scared and they laugh.”

What is the most memorable thing you have written?

“When I was writing my story of the three pigs and was reading it out loud for the first time, I was a little bit scared, but I was also happy because I read out loud the first time. People liked my story. Other kids, my friends, and my family who live far away would like to hear my story too. When I wrote the story, I was thinking about what if the wolf was super nice but the pigs were mean. I think it teaches people that you have to be nice and treat them how you want to be treated.”
