A British girl, Taryn Everdeen, has just finished writing a novel（小说）with her favorite writer, Carolyn Meyer, even though she is 66 years younger than her.
Taryn was only 15 years old, when she first wrote a fan letter to a 81-year-old Carolyn Meyer, to give thanks for her historical novels.
“Carolyn was one of my favorite writers. I grew up reading her books. When I was nine or ten, I would listen to her stories every night…That made me fall in love with history,” says Taryn.
Taryn, who is from Norwich, England, was then surprised when Carolyn wrote back and suggested writing a novel together.
Carolyn is an American writer who writes novels for children and young people. She has published（出版）over 60 children books, but she has never wanted to work with another writer until she got Taryn's letter.
Three years ago, after Taryn wrote to her, Carolyn invited the young girl to stay with her in the US, so they could write a novel together. They decided（决定）to write a time-traveling story. They sent ideas to each other by email. Carolyn also visited Taryn last year, and Taryn flew to the US over the summer, after she finished her school exams.
They now have a first draft（初稿）of "Mirror of Time". They decide to give it to some publishers and hope they will be interested in it.
"This is my first try at writing a novel. We have been working on it for three years. It's amazing, " says Taryn. And I have never met anyone like her. "She seems much younger than her age. I think she is a really powerful role model（有影响力的榜样）. She's my teacher, and my work partner, but I see her as a friend more than anything else."
Taryn, now 18 years old, returns from the USA this week. She wants to have a gap year（间隔年）before starting university next year.
“We worked hard, but we did other things together, too. While I was there, we went to a few theatre shows, and we went on a journey to Taos, staying in a hotel overnight there."
"She's very open, and I can talk to her about pretty much all the things I talk to my other friends about,” she says. "She has taught me how to be a better writer."
