Angelique, the Great Writer By: Jessica Lai

I flipped the last page of Angelique’s book. It was the first book that was published by her! It took me two whole weeks to finish the book. Angelique is a sixth grader in Miss Bailey’s class, and one of her favorite hobbies is, of course, writing!!!
Angelique is the type of writer that likes to write a lot because it helps her practice her writing skills. Always, when she has extra time, but has nothing to do, she just writes a very cool book!
Her favorite writing place is at the kitchen table because it has peace and quiet. She is comfortable because she has always worked there and is used to working at the kitchen table.
For her pre-write, she works on her comfy bed because her bed has fluffy pillows to help her relax so she can think better and faster. She likes to sink her back into the nice, soft, fluffy pillows that look like clouds in the sky. Sometimes she might even fall asleep on them!!!
Angelique works on her first- draft in her living room. If she is lucky, she may have the whole room to herself, without anybody bothering her! This helps her concentrate and prepare for a wonderful essay that may come any time in her future!
But, for her final daft, she writes in her lovely, quiet living room because it is all her style: a T. V., a bouncy couch, a smooth, wooden table, a nicely camouflaged carpet, and a lovely bed, incase she is tired and wants to take a nap. In fact, she has the whole room to herself! When she is alone, she can only think about writing because she has no little siblings bothering her thinking.
The most interesting person to write about is Rosa Parks. She likes to write about her because she is really brave. She is brave enough to stand up for black people’s rights! “Black people should be treated the same way as white people. They should not be treated differently. Just treat people the way you want to be treated!” Rosa Parks said.
Angelique also likes to write because it helps her practice her handwriting, writing skills, and helps prepare her for any writing assignments! Writing also helps Angelique by helping her thoughts grow.
Even you could practice your writing skills at home, school, or any where you enjoy writing in. Good luck! Think, write, edit, read, publish, and became an author! Have fun too.
