Rachel's becoming a writer.  This sudden love of the A to Z Mystery books has inspired her to start writing her own mysteries.  For a couple of weeks now, she gets up every morning, and after getting dressed, making her bed, and brushing her teeth, she sits down in her room and writes a chapter.  She's on her second book now.  

She plans her stories ahead of time, coming up with the chapter titles first, and writing a table of contents.  After writing her chapter she then draws a picture.

And she does it all with oil pastels, so her hands are a MESS when she comes downstairs every morning.

But she's having fun, using her imagination, which has always been amazing, if you ask me, and practicing some great skills.  I'm thrilled!

She's now trying to decide if she wants to be an artist, writer, or a chef when she grows up.
