When we finished the revising part  we could move on to editing that means we have to fix little or big things that are in our story and so that tho story could make sense and that we would be able to understand our own stories.

In each different writing group we had to write about a different thing and in my group we had to write about a clown who lived on a mountain.

My Story: One calm morning there was a young man who was called Smiley and he dressed up like a clown. He told funny jokes to all his friends. Smiley lived on a mountain and he always discovers new things every time he goes hiking. Smiley doesn't dress up as a clown all of the time. Every time he sees his friends he always makes them laugh with a big smile. Because he lived in a cozy house on a mountain it's sometimes really cold.

When Smiley’s had a hard day he drives down the mountain and once he’s at the bottom he puts on a performance to make family, friends and others laugh. Every time he puts on a show he always wears his rainbow jumpsuit and he wears bright, colorful, face paint and his hair is red and really curly. His hardest magic trick was to ride a unicycle and to do a magic card trick. And then when the performance is all over he usually goes and drives back up to the mountain and has a rest before he has dinner.

When he has dinner he eats the plants that grow next to his house such as Golden currant, Mountain sorrel and pine needles. It's really quiet where he lives so Smiley puts on some music when he’s eating dinner. Sometimes when he was nothing to do he goes hiking to a find a peak were he can stand on and feel the fresh air going past his face. Sometimes Smiley can be clumsy and also really funny sometimes.

And one time when Smiley was a kid he had a balloon, it was his favorite color which was blue once he saw a group of kids playing together and Smiley went over to them. He wanted to show his balloon to everyone. When he showed them his balloon two twin brothers were jealous of it. Then when all the kids left, the two twin brothers went up to Smiley and stole the balloon and after that the twins found a good hiding spot where they could play with the ballon. When they saw Smiley they both hid the balloon in a tree. As it started to get dark Smiley went to them to fight them for his ballon. Smiley got his balloon off of the two twins and after Smiley found it, he started to live on the mountain and that's why Smiley built a house on the mountain.
