How to Write

My neighbour, Hugo (age 9), often sits at the other end of my office, writing. He is capable of producing one of his graphic novels in the time it takes me to compose a sentence. It's wonderful to meet young kids with a passion for writing and for storytelling. I just had to get Hugo on film explaining the craft of writing. Listen and learn!

  4. Wow! I'm impressed. He could set himself up as a speaker for writing groups.

    So Candy, what are you entering for the Cannes Film Festival?

  6. thanks for the nice words. i asked hugo where he learned everything he knew. he said he'd picked it up from the authors who came to speak at his school ... which just goes to show how important it is for authors to go out and spread the magic!

  7. Candy, Hugo, HELP ME!

    I'm falling off the mountain into a black hole!

    By the way, this is brilliant and I might make a career change and turn into a Blog thief (like Sarah!)

  10. Hugo should go into the business of writing "How to" books. Us author wanabees scoop them up by the dozens.
