My kid's story

 So my 6-year-old wrote a story.  This isn't her first time.  She's been writing since she was 3 and loves to hand out her books to teachers, friends, and anyone she can convince to read them.  Recently, she decided she wanted to to do a lemonade, book, and cookie stand where she could sell her books.  She did the same last year and made a chunk of

I think that's fantastic; good for you AND her. <3 I once had a table at Wizard World Chicago next to a 6-year-old who was selling her own comics (and had been making them since she was 4, apparently). Her daddy had brought her and stayed with her all the time, of course, to handle the business side and make sure she was never alone, and take her out of the con when she needed to destress. But she was at her table most of the time (hard for even adults to do!), and she chatted with people and accepted commissions (she was charging 25 cents each to do pictures of characters like Power Puff Girls or anything else she was familiar with, and so she spent most of her time at her table drawing). It was great, and everyone who stopped by her table was very supportive.

I hope things go well, and I think it's really great that you're supporting her in this!

That is awesome of that dad. I wonder how that kid is doing now.

Ginny has a lot of artistic talent for her age, I think. I know I'm going to look at this book as an awesome keepsake for the future and she'll always have it to know how she used to draw and think.

Thanks. :) I'm hoping it will build her love for writing even more.
