I joined in Lexi Rees’ Creative Writing Camp in July, it was amazing.

Lexi guided us from day 1 to day 5 through the amount of writing we all needed and planing ideas. The aim was to write a book in a week, we joined in on Zoom sessions each day

I had so much fun writing it with help from Lexi and my mum who gave great ideas of describing how the room would look like or who the characters were. The best part was the writing because it was endless of describing the characters and the place they were in.

On day 1 everyone made this planning roller coaster with our ideas of how we wanted the story to go once we did we started to write our first to paragraphs.

SPOILER ALERT!!

I managed to make a good-sized story thankfully, I haven’t written the whole story here because you need to find out in the future!!

My story was about a princess and king who are about to eat their garlic cheese bread. Nuria starts to choke and they hear a noise. The figure finally appears and takes the kings priceless crown. Nuria finds a map, they go to the X marks the spot at the spooky cave. I will stop there because I want to publish the book itself.

I rate the group 5/5 for giving me ideas and helping develop writing skills.

Also great group Lexi, it was so much fun and something to do during lockdown and without my brother and sister annoying me; it relaxed and focused me so thank you for letting me do it.

This course was gifted in the exchange for a review and feedback but I loved it so much that I have joined the How to be a Journalist starting on the 10th August. Find out more about it here.

This course was perfect for Sophie, it helped her imagination but also gave her the stages you need to write a book. I really enjoyed how the story began with printable activities. As a parent in lockdown, this was an affordable course that kept giving, Sophie made a friend within the week and it gave us a little break as well. The fact that Lexi is an author herself makes it even more of a worthy investment. We are a part of her Kids Club and this is a fun and educational resource.
