At Least Someone's Writing

I haven't made much progress on my book (a total of 500 words). However, this morning Trevor called me over to his art desk to request my expert transcribing skills. He wrote out the title and filled in all of the dialogue bubbles. Then he dictated the words for each page. Of course, because Trevor is the author, you can expect skeletons and terrifying moments.

(I know where the germ of this idea came from. We watched a movie a few weeks ago on television called, "The Secret of the Mountain." In the movie, a family enters a secret passageway into the mountain and they encountered skeletons.)

He was using a brown colored pencil, so it may be a bit tough to see (if you click on an image, it will enlarge it).

Jack and the Skeleton

Once upon a time, there was a boy and a mountain.

The boy went in the mountain.

He found a big hole to walk into.

He tried to pull some dirt out of the wall.

And then he said, "Oooh, this is BAD!" He heard strange music.

And then he realized that there were skeletons behind him.

He ran so fast that he got away from them.
(I loved this page, with the guy swiping his hand across his brow and saying, "Phew.")

Now he came up to another skeleton.

He was happy to get out.

At least he's working on writing his books! R.L. Stine and Stephen King, watch out!
