rivkaWhat would you get a twelve-year-old girl who wants to be a writer?
I think we gave her a blank book last year. (Not because we knew that she was an aspiring author at that point, just because we got lucky. Or maybe that's why she now wants to be an author.)
There are a lot of books about writing aimed at kids and teenagers, but I have no idea of their quality.
There's also this writing journal, which, while not for kids, was recommended on Amazon by a young woman who describes herself as a "13-year-old writer."
Any recommendations?

Date: 2004-12-12 06:30 am (UTC)As much as I adore Sheaffer pens, many people seem to find Waterman a better brand to start with. The Phileas and Hemisphere are really nice, smooth-writing pens. If she likes colorful pens, though, Sheaffer makes the Agio and the Prelude in a rainbow metalic, which is surprisingly ungaudy. (The Agio is a slimmer, lighter pen, which she might like better; one never knows.)
