Last Thursday I went to my first ever lecture about mythology. The speaker was an author called Caroline Lawrence. Caroline talked about mentors and talisman and thresholds and how she made or wrote her stories. There was a Roman mystery series, a P.K Pinkerton and a new series coming out. I won a book signed by her because I answered 4 questions correctly. The book is called The Night Raid and it's about two boys who escaped the trojan war and tried to build a new Troy. I really liked it because it will help me with my NaNoWriMo story. (I've stolen an idea) Caroline talked about the seven plot beats and her version, but instead of seven, there are twelve plot beats.

It's great to see kids such as yourself taking an interest in these sorts of things. I do hope you continue to aspire becoming a writer someday. I bet you would do great! Keep improving your writing skills, and do read more. Someday, you'll be able to create your own original idea/ story, and be the one giving a talk about these things. Wish you the best of luck!
