Writing Magic, I Am Going To Get Started

I found a magazine article about a book called “Writing Magic: Creating Stories that Fly”. It was by the author Gail Carson Leveine, the same author that wrote “Ella Enchanted” and “The Fairest”. This book teaches you how to write fiction. At the end of each chapter there is a writing assignment called "Writing Time". I read the book so much that I had most of it memorized, but I never did any of the writing time assignments. That was in 2006. Now, I happened to find the book again during after Christmas cleaning. This time, when i read it, I am going to do the assignments, because I really want to do them. There are about 63 assignments, depending on how you look at it. Some of the assignments have different option to pick from, so I will do two or three. Other assignments are long enough to do by themselves. I really want to be an author like Gail so I am going to do this. Chapter 1, here I come. I am going to get started!
