A novel writer in our family!

I just wanted to share with you that Colton decided to become an author. About three weeks ago he had this great idea and decided to write about it and kept writing and writing and has LOVED every minute of it. He talked of nothing else and the more he talked about it the more his novel came to life. He was telling me last week how the story changed because the characters started doing things that he didn't want them to do. How upsetting it was to him! It has been so fun watching him write and see how excited he can get. It has been quite an adventure seeing the smiles on his face and the happiness he has felt from writing. He has written 100 pages so far and he has discovered that he has a talent for writing! What makes this really cool is that he has always disliked writing! Way to go Colton!!!!
