2 The Story Makers Club

2 The Story Makers Club Monday At school Mrs. Featherbottom told us about a FLAP-TASTIC class contest. We're having a story contest. The winner will receive Owl Ninja books signed by the author! Everyone loves the Owl Ninja books! We were all so excited!

Some classmates came up with story ideas right away. Zara is writing about the Old Oak Tree using her photographs. Carlos is creating a superhero comic strip called Captain Owlsome. Sue is writing about herself. And I... could not think of anything to write about.

When in doubt, start a club! Hey everyone! I'm starting a Story Makers Club. It's for anyone having trouble coming up with a story idea. Sounds great! What will the club do? We'll do creative activities to get us thinking. Great! We'll have our first meeting tonight! I'm in! Me too! After school we flew to my house. I pulled out my new paint set, and we all painted pictures.

Then we had a paint fight! It was so much fun! Until Mom came in. It's wonderful that you all look like pieces of modern art! But maybe it's time to clean up?

Later, I took Baxter for a fly. I was brainstorming story ideas when he pulled me toward the Old Oak Tree. Where are you going, Baxter? He probably smelled a squirrel. He's always chasing them, and he loves it when they chase him. Don't go near those squirrels, Baxter. They're smelly and they steal our food! I led Baxter back home.

I worked on my story ideas. But they were all totally terrible! Argh! Maybe I need a good day's sleep... But it is hot! So I'll just open my window first. That's better. Good day, Diary.
