We had an author visit at school today. I wasn't looking forward to it until it happened.
He told us a really cool story, with a story about the story. The story about the story was how he visited one primary school and told them the story he told us. When finished with it, the headteacher wanted a talk with him. He/she said it's a secondary school story and it scared them, but really it only scared her/him because a kid came in saying ''That story was cool!''
mind hurts? headteacher of one school does not like story. but really that headteacher was scared and the kids were okay
So he told us the story. It's about - you know what, not this. Anyway, he asked the question ''Do you think this should be in a book?'' It was in a book already, but the book was edited to make it less ''scary''. Everyone put their hand up except me and three others. I kept my hand down. I was actually called up to face EVERYONE. Years 5 and 6. My reason was ''I like telling stories rather then putting them in a book''. I actually shook hands with the guy twice. TWICE. Everyone also clapped twice
mind hurts again? i shook hands twice with an author of 93 widely read books
