Hehe - I hear you! My DD (now 9) is exactly the same. The only respite we ever got was at age six, when she she decided she wanted to raise money for an endangered animal (I forget which one) and after her suggesting various methods we managed to persuade her to agree to do a sponsored silence. Oh, that was the most blessed hour of my life
. Now, we pop her on the computer and she'll write long stories, make power point presentations or write up research. Granted, she'll still try and 'share' everything she's writing but we make her 'save' her work so we can have the excitement of a surprise - well, that's what we tell her anyway!
So, empathy in spades - and, good luck!!
