I’m so proud to introduce an aspiring young writer to you! This is my niece and this is the beginning of her first story, Fairy Fishing. (The first of many, I do believe.)

I sat down with Madison and gained the first (if I’m not mistaken) interview with this budding new author.

ME: Tell me, Madie, how do you get the ideas for your stories?

MADIE: Well, first I just think about things. And then I’ll think of something and go, “wow, that would make a fun story!”

ME: How long have you been writing?

MADIE: Hm…quite a long time.

ME: What are some of your favorite things?

MADIE: Pandas, horses, and watermelon.

ME: If you could visit any state, which one would it be?

MADIE: Hawaii. And New York. And…it’s not really a state, but…Las Vegas.

ME: What do you like to do for fun?

MADIE: Bowling, roller skating, and swimming.

Without further ado, here is an excerpt from Madie’s first story.

All writing is 100% orginal work - no editing!

Enjoy!

Fairy Fishing

Once upon a time there lived a fairy named Claire. Claire lived in a tulip by a big pound. Legond has it that a ginormous bass lives in the pound.

Bass Pro Shop said that whoever catches it, they will give one hundred dollars to the person. But Clair knew that none had ever cot it and none ever will.

All of Claire’s friends belevid in the big bass. Claire did not know to believin it or not. Then one day Claire made up her mind she was going to fish day and night until she had cot that bass.

One Wednesday Claire went to Bass Pro Shop to get a fishing pole. But there was one proplem. There were no fairy sized poles.

So Claire just had to get a big one. She picked out a pick and gray pole. After she paid she went home to fix her pole.

Tomorow Claire is going down to the dock and catching that bass.
