Thanks for asking! I'm always willing to spend another minute or two gushing over one of my kids' writing. Here's her story, interpreted:

(page 1)
Here I am standing in a tent
Suddenly (sodetle!) I heard a big pop
(page 2)
It was a monster!
AHHHHH I screamed
It was a big monster
(page 3)
It had a big green head
and spikes (sbix)
(page 4)
And it was all green spikes
(page 5, perhaps my favorite page)
But I was not afraid

As for the lined/unlined paper, we've got both in our writing/art area and Anna chooses the unlined paper pretty consistently. Sometimes she'll anchor her writing by drawing lines across the bottom of the page, but other times she writes free form.

Kids writing is amazing, isn't it? Stay tuned - Reading Rockets has a terrific webcast on writing scheduled for February 2008.
