It’s also true that some of them can’t actually write yet
y son is writing his first book. He’s not the first of our family’s second generation to follow me in this path. Since outing myself as an author, more than a few of my nephews and nieces have sought to outdo my efforts, often with nerve-jangling success. On a trip to Worthing last month, my nephew Daniel sneered quite derisively when I told him it had taken me three years to write my book, since he’d written two that weekend alone.
At four, my son’s adventures in writing have only just begun, complicated slightly by his difficulty in getting ideas down on to the page. A lot of this is logistical, since his left-handedness makes writing a bit fiddly and he’s not yet fully committed to the horizontal left-to-right writing form typically taught in this part of the world.
