Eight-year-old Sara is writing a novel. Sometimes she does this for a chapter or two. I'll copy her first chapter here, and maybe she'll write chapter two one of these days.

Once not so long ago.
There was a girl of the age of twelve. She was the princess of Shashonee's her name was Titna. She was loyle and loved her home. But one day her tribe met, but she didn't want to. "Come", her father told her, but then he said she could skip it, so long as she did not go swimming.
Titna obeyed her father. Insted she headed to the thicket, where she loved to be. But instead of the small thicket there was a huge mess. Trees were all cut down and worst of all there were odd people no not people aleans with white skin. She did not even notice that one of the alians had snuck up behind her and, he grabed her she started to scream but her vioce was muffled by the sound of the captin of alians screaming "Back to the camp men." She was tiad up and tooken back to there camp. When she got to there camp and was tied to there post they had made. The captin siad, "Tomarrow we will put her on the ship and sial home."
"Yahhhh", shouted the crew which Titna thought probably ment Okay. Soon she dicided that here tribe would notice her disapperance and come to get her. But I have the sorry dutiey to tell you that this is not what happened.

Anonymously, John
I love it...I'll bet the next chapter will really be steamy!
Can you tell she's been reading Lemony Snickett books? That's where she gets the "unfortunate duty" stuff.
What an imagination!
I hope she keeps it up too!
(I used to write stories in my younger days. I have a folder full of them in our loft. Some are quite strange and have raised a few eyebrows!)
Does she have a blog yet? :)
I wonder if this is some 8 year theme or something. Liv writes A LOT about being captured by pirates, aliens, you name it and tied to trees, etc. She always "excapes" by some sort of magic (a unicorn showing up unexpectedly, a magic cloud) and comes back home where we are all just so glad to have her back because we were so worried and all.....
