Today the Kids’ Writing Workshop wrote exercises from Write This Book<\/em><\/a>\u00a0by Pseudonymous Bosch! \u00a0Bosch (is that his REAL name??) will be coming to Pasadena on Dec. 13. \u00a0Everybody got a “Save the Date” to help mark their calendars. \u00a0He writes hilarious mysteries\u00a0for kids and has a new book coming out called Bad Magic<\/em><\/a>. \u00a0In Write This Book<\/em><\/a>, he turns the tables around and makes the kid reader the author of the mystery book.<\/p>\n

One of the things the kids did was continue a scene started by Bosch in which a brother wakes up his sister after hearing a series of strange noises. \u00a0The kids had fun making the story either humorous in tone, with dialogue or character quirks, or suspenseful, with all kinds of shocking things happening.<\/p>\n

Another exercise we took from the book was to write a voicemail greeting for a character and then write the messages other people leave for him or her. \u00a0I suggested the kids write about book characters, and they had fun doing\u00a0that! \u00a0They wrote voicemails for Charlie Brown, Carter Kane, Harry Potter, and more.<\/p>\n

Finally, the kids drew pictures and\/or wrote about what they would wear or where they would live when they become famous writers someday. \u00a0You know, because it’s very important that a writer has a great wardrobe!<\/p>\n

Below are some photos, including the kids’ writing. \u00a0Next month, on November 21st at 4:30 pm, we’ll discuss how to get published in publications that seek submissions from child authors. \u00a0Then on December 13, be sure to come to the library at 2 pm for our author event with Pseudonymous Bosch!<\/p>\n
