October 2011
Douven Staul

Here’s a sample of my writing. This is the Hook I gave my players to help them get into the game a little bit better.
I want to write.
I was in fifth grade when I began writing. This was about the same time that my sister gave me my first Xanth novel and I fell in love with fantasy novels in general. Almost immediately I took up writing my own. Each book I devoured spawned thousands of stories and images that swam in my head and begged to be told. I loved writing so much that every teacher I had encouraged me to develop my talent. I had some of my writings put into contests and I even have a book that I printed and hand bound still on the shelves (at least it should be) at my middle school library.

Here’s the transcript of the lesson I gave this past Wednesday night, October 19, 2011. Again, due to nerves I completely forgot to record it.
