...the wordsmith

I'm thinking, Ben may have inherited some of Jack's writing skills. He has an independent writing paper due tomorrow, I keep reading it over and over. Granted, there are mistakes and I would have told him different ways to use his dialogue...but this was his tale and it all made sense in the end. As an 11yr old, I thought he showed writing skills..that will develop with age.Jack would be so proud:)

Jack, had always wanted to write a novel, many perhaps....life kept getting in the way. We were both set to move to Iowa City, so he could pursue a teaching degree in writing...so he could get into The Iowa Writers Workshop. That dream was never fulfilled. Our apartment never got finished being built. Jack, would commute between Des Moines and spending the night with his aunt and uncle. After months of that, his appendix decided to play havoc on that goal. We moved in with Pam and Andy...then he sold his soul, to make a living.

I love Ben's paper, it could be cleaned up, but his heart was in it, so I let it be. 

I guess the fruit doesn't fall to far from the tree.
