I >apologize, but I've never heard of Handprints. I"ve >always had a strong interest in creative writing. I >took classes in High School including an Advance >Creative Writing elective class in my Senior year. You >had to take a nine week class in Creative Writing and >have an A in that class to qualify for ACW. Our final >grade in ACW was a writing assignment. In addition to >studying Creative Writing you literally had the nine >week period to do a writing project. It could be a >short story, graphic novel, a book of poetry or songs, >etc.. aimed towards students grades K-3. Your project >would be graded and entered into a contest against the >projects of other students who had the class that year >and the winning project would get a small cash award >and certificate. But the best of all their project >would be published by the school system and placed in >the school libraries for the kids to be able to check >out and read. The winner would also be given a dozen >copies to do with as they please. I gave mine to >family and friends, plus kept a copy for myself. I >wrote a short story titled "The Little Girl Who Lived >In The Middle Of The Lane". It was a >semi-autobiography about a girl named "Amie Lynn" from >age four to twelve. She was an adventurous little girl >who manage to get in some trouble sometimes. I >literally used some of the same experiences I've been >sharing in the forum and some other stories not >related to spankings in anyway. It was entirely kid >friendly so even though there were a couple of >chapters where Amie got spanked, there was no real >detail of the spankings. I avoided talking about the >abusive spankings I got from my Granny and the >Assistant Principal, but I did have a chapter about a >friend who was abused. I also talked about the death >of my Papaw Paul, who was my Daddy's daddy. That >happened when I was five and it broke my heart as well >as Momma's because he was like the Daddy she never >had. In spite of a couple of emotionally heavy >chapters, most of the book was about the trouble I >used to get into. My Grandbaby loves for me to read >chapters from that book to her and the first time they >read some of it at Kindergarten, she got all excited >telling everybody, "My Gramma wrote that book!" Yeah I >was the co-winner of that contest. The other winner >was an artist and writer who wrote a Graphic Novel and >illustrated it. Today he works for one of the Comic >Book Companies, I'm not at liberty to say which one. >But I can say, my boys love his work. > >Maybe one day, I'll write another book when the fancy >takes me. I don't know. Right now I've got my hands >full with being a Wife, Momma, and Gramma and quite >honestly loving it. > >Sweetie, I have a bad habit of going on and on >sometimes and it looks like I've done that here >instead of simply answering your questions. I gotta >go, my Grandbaby wants me to read to her before she >goes to sleep. > >If you have anything you want to ask, please feel free >to do so. > >Sonya
