Mine likes to write about a dragon named Carnivorex who eats children. 
He just read me his six and a half page story "The Dragon's Rage", in which the dragon eats most of the world, leaving one castle to the end. At the end, the warriors THINK they have killed Carnivorex, but the last line is: THE END....for now!
He's planning 6 "The Dragon's Rage" books.  Number two will be about Carnivorex's revenge ("The Dragon's Rage - He's Back"), but the dragon will be really killed in that one. The third will be about the dragon's wife, and the fourth about his kid. I asked if the kid would be Carnivojer. 
This from the kid who used to sit at the table, stare at a blank page and cry because he couldn't think of what to write. All he needed was a little free reign.

That's really cool! Dragons that kill people - sounds like a hit if I heard one!
Zachary has a habit of making someone die each time he writes a paper, journal entry, story, etc. Death and destruction are his thing, and that is obvious by looking at his library book list. Hurricanes, tornadoes, the Titanic, The Hindenburg, and any other disasterous event.
We figure that he will either grow up to be a weatherman, the next Stephen King, or a terrorist

It's nice to know that there will be men out there who will accept Beanie for who she really is. |

Jeremy comment that was overhead last Saturday at a dinner party we were at (he and another 12 year old were watching some movie)
"Why is it that the women never get killed by the monster?"

LOL to Jer's story, I am just howling. And then Pippa had to add fuel to the fire over here. The Horsemen would get along so well with him, Lynn. Take that however you want.

If it weren't for the age difference, Erin would probably get along with him pretty well, too. She's not gone quite that far, but then she hasn't had the years yet to hone her flair for the overly dramatic to that point, yet, either.
She loves making up monstery stuff. Doesn't like WATCHING it or even reading about it, but loves to tell stories like that!

That's great! And he's even got a feel for the commercial end of it--once a publisher buys the first in the series, they're far more likely to buy the rest.
Oh, and I might have a lead on an illustrator for him--how would he work with a 7-year-old?

I'm sure he and the Dominator would get along fine. Of course, he already draws ferocious pictures of monsters...usually in church when he's supposed to be sitting still listening to the sermon.

Perhaps he's working up to illustrating Dante's Paradise Lost? That would show proper religious sentiment, right?
