Through the eyes of a child…

Oct 22, 2011 | Blog

If you’re a regular reader here, you know that I’ve been participating in Write on Wednesday with Ink Paper Pen.

Over the last few exercises, I’ve written a couple of pieces that describe events and activities through the eyes of a child.

I have started editing Time for a Walk as I wrote it quickly and I can see that there is potential in the story, either as a kids book with photos or pictures of a toddler walking, or as a longer short story.

Even this weeks exercise was fun and I can see potential in expanding it to show the set up for the event through the eyes of a four year old (and possibly the unfairness in being sent to bed before everyone arrives).

From the comments on both these pieces, I can see ways to expand them as well as other enjoying them.

I’m enjoying writing pieces through the eyes of a child, and it seems like I’m good at it, again judging by the comments on these posts.

Where this goes to from here, I don’t know yet, but it’s something I’m having fun doing.

If you have suggestions on where I can take these, I’d love to know.

This is something I've spoken about before, but it's worth mentioning again. Libraries can be wonderfully safe places for neurodivergent people. They are often quiet and calm, and you can be surrounded by books. There are times when there is noise, especially during...
