My daughter, the writer - Salt and Caramel

Does she write, because she sees me writing? Does she write, because she likes to write? Does she write, because she has to write?

Recently my nine year old daughter told me that she had to finish her story, “.. I don’t really want to finish, but I must. I cannot stop writing, even though I am tired”, she sighed.

I won’t pretend that I was not proud and delighted to hear that. My mini-me.

She writes in English, despite learning to read in French.

When she wrote this story earlier, her first on her new computer that she paid for by saving her pocket money, she told me that I could post it on my blog. I have left the spelling mistakes, and her formatting.
