Benny's Blog

Hi all,

During my school tour this year which has been on behalf of the 2012 National Year of Reading in Australia, kids have asked me all sorts of great questions about how to get writing; how they can make the time; where they can write... because not everyone has a private bedroom in this world!
So UnicornKisses has reopened Benny's Blog, http://unicornkisses.com/blog/
where kids can ask Benny the unicorn all sorts of questions and, also, where they can help each other with ideas about writing,art, music and the things they love to create.

UnicornKisses thought it was timely since the WISH trilogy is now quickly increasing in popularity for kids from the age of 8 to 15. This trilogy grows in its theme and style until the very end, so expect it to grow and change!

The WISH trilogy goes on sale in eBOOKS as well as its current paperback form, from these outlets- www.amazon.com, www.barnesandnoble.com/, www.unicornkisses.com, www.fishpond.com.au and www.greatmindsliterarycommunity.com, as of the 28th August 2012 in both paperback and NOW in eBOOKS! So, during the first week of September, in conjunction with the eBook launch and for my blog tour, there will be giveaways and fantastic sale prices of the books.

Back to Benny's Blog - Benny the unicorn has all sorts of tips he's keen to share with kids about writing, art and other stuff... and, once a month or so, our bloggers get the chance to win a Free digital copy of one of the WISH books... so get blogging with Benny!http://unicornkisses.com/blog/?page_i...
Best Wishes!

Benny's Blog-Tips for Young Creators Tip#3

Benny Blog Tip: #3 - Write what you like.

Hi young creators, it’s always great to see you here!
Katrina from Wales asked me one day what she should write about. She said that she knew she wanted to write something, but wasn’t sure what.
Well, first I asked Katrina how old she was and she told me that she was eleven. So Katrina is a spring chicken then, isn’t she! I asked Katrina what she liked… you know, what kind of things she does in her spare time and she said that, (apart from her love of unicorns and ponies,) that she also loved to draw pictures and she loved walking her dog in the park and watching dogs play. These are her favourite things.
So I told Katrina to write stories about her dog and other stories about the dogs that she meets. Well, Katrina’s eyes lit right up when I mentioned that and she told me that she had tons of stories she could write about dogs!
How good is that! And last time I met Katrina, she showed me six stories that she’d written and she’d also done some drawings to go with them! Wow, Katrina, so proud of you.
Her friend Jayden also began writing stories, but he loves trains, and he can see the trains arrive in town from his bedroom window. He told Katrina that he wrote a really long story about all of the different kind of people who were getting off the train and he imagined, by looking at them, what kind of people they were and what kind of lives they lived. I say that’s just fantastic! Such amazing kids and wonderful ideas about writing their very own stories. I hope they keep those stories and share them with the world, one day.
Thanks everyone! I’ll see you here next time, at Benny’s Blog!
