I have a grandson who's a couple of years younger than you, and he also loves to write (and to read). This weekend, he showed me an essay that was far better than anything I wrote at his age. I bet you and he will both go far.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17673578800047888317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-48061059918118489022017-05-02T15:47:08.250-04:002017-05-02T15:47:08.250-04:00Great post, Dylan!!

In bygone days past your grandpa sat right seat at my side in a helicopter as we flew hundreds of hours during counterdrug missions. Now back then he was banging out biker magazine short stories on a “typewriter” (one step up from a stone tablet compared to what you have to work with) hoping to author his way into the business. In your grandpa, I know not a better mentor. Best of luck as you embark on your journey into his world.<br />Major Mike<br />Major Mikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-38065171370844006712017-04-30T20:16:28.140-04:002017-04-30T20:16:28.140-04:00I meant to mention this in my earlier comment, but...I meant to mention this in my earlier comment, but forgot.

You're got a great head start.<br /><br />Tip: Tell RT you need a trip to France to research his stories. But don't tell him I suggested it.Leigh Lundinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07921276795499571578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-41264179475218281552017-04-30T09:09:21.419-04:002017-04-30T09:09:21.419-04:00Thanks for sharing, Dylan.

He's now seventeen, but when he was your age, he also came to my house after school. He called me "Grandma Daycare." So far as the MWA Goosebumps-themed anthology, welcome to the club! I wrote one, too. Mine was rejected, too. Again, thanks for a great column today, and I look forward to reading more from you.
