HAPPY BIRTHDAY someoneUK!!!!
I thought that I would post a bit from the novel I'm writing. A few people have asked me too and I have nothing better to say. So here is a little bit from the first chapter. The book is for kids 10 and up and fantasy. It doesn't have a title yet.
Simons father threw open the bedroom door.
What is going on in here? Why can I smell smoke?
II didnt reallyI wasSimon started
My spell book! His Father ripped the book out of his hands. How many times have we gone over this? You are not to go into my study and take my things. You are not even a wizard yet. Simon, His father put his hand to his head. I really dont have time to deal with this right now. He turned and left the room, closing the door behind him.
Before Simon could even think, the closet door opened and the creature stepped out. He crossed his long, lanky arms and smiled at Simon.
Not even a wizard. The creature shook his head. You had better think of something.
The light in the room was fading it would be dark soon. He heard the creatures tail swish across the floor. He held his breath thinking of something to say. The creature took a step towards him.
You cant sty here. Simon blurted out.
Oh Im sorry, I must be hearing things. I thought I just heard you say I couldnt stay here. The creature said.
I did say that. Simon swallowed hard.
Dont play games with me boy, you called me here so you must send me back.
Simon took a few steps back until he bumped into his bed. The creature looked out the window and then back at Simon, who was also looking out the window.
Ill tell you what, The creature said. Ill leave for the night so you can think about what you have done. Ill be back in the morning, dont go anywhere.
I dont have anywhere to go.
Everyone has somewhere to go. The creature turned and threw open the window. Wind howled into the room blowing paper off Simons desk. The creature spread his wings and just before he took off into the night he whispered, Sleep tight.

As a kid of more than 10 years of age, I assume that this creature has been introduced earlier in your book? Because if not, I would like to know more of what he looks like.
