Reading and Writing

I love to write. And apparently I'm really good at it, according to my friends and family.Things pop into my head and I write them down and turn them into a story. But this talent dosen't always come in handy. I once was at my friend's house (she lives two houses down from me) when suddenly I said, "I have to go home!" I was about to jump out of my seat and sprint home as fast as my legs would carry me. I had to write something down for the book I'm writing, Made of Silver. My friend asked what was wrong and I told her I had to write something for my book. She knows how I am about my book (It's almost like a child to me!), so she wasn't that suprised. Handing me the nearest notebook and pen, she told me, "Use this." Within 3 minutes I had 2 and a half pages written. I wasn't about to let myself forget what I'd thought of.I really get in tune with the characters in the books I'm reading. In 3rd grade I was reading one of the Harry Potters when I thought, "I have to tell Mom how mean Draco Mafoy is being to me!" I know. I'm a nut. But if you think THAT'S bad, get a load of this:I was talking to my little brother about the book I'm writing. He got thirsty, but I guess he didn't want to get a cup because he walked into the bathroom to drink from the sink. I followed, still jabbering away. Then I looked in the mirror and panicked. I hadn't expected to see my reflection - I had expected to see the main character in my book, Ginny!
