But I'm trying to get back into it, I actually wrote part of an episode from book 2 earlier.

Kanya stretched out her arms over her head as Aang fed Appa and have him a good rub.
"It's nice to walk around some" Katara commented as she started to walk around the clearing they had landed in. A sign post stood in the middle of a fork in the road and was covered in papers.
"Hey look, The Fire Days festival is going on today. It has lots of food and firebending displays" Sokka announced. "I could go for some food" he muttered as his stomach grumbled.
"Firebending?" Aang asked as he walked over to check of the flyer. "I think we should go" he said.
"I don't know, how smart is it to have the Avatar walk- I mean Avatars- walk into a Fire Nation town?" Katara responded.
"But how else will we ever see firebending up close to study it instead of defend ourselves from it?" Aang asked.
"He has a point" Kanya put in as she looked at the other posters on the sign post. "Uh oh" she said as she saw two newly printed Wanted posters. "Looks like we'll need disguises" she said as they all walked over and saw the Wanted posters for both Aang and Kanya. Katara looked very unhappy, but they decided to head over to the town and attend the festival.
As they walked through the entrance to the bustling village they realized disguises weren't necessary because everyone was wearing colorful masks. They quickly found some masks and put them on.
Sokka ran off in search of food and Katara went after him to be sure he didn't draw attention to them. Kanya and Aang wandered around looking at all the booths and displays. After a while Katara and Sokka found them and they all walked over to a large crowd of people around a stage.
On the stage a man was fire bending and Aang quickly became entranced. Katara and Sokka also watched intently as the man did amazing things with the fire. Kanya lost interest and pulled up her mask to scan the crowd.
Off to the side behind the end of the stage a man was staring at Kanya. She met his eyes and then beckoned her towards him. She felt an immediate connection to the hooded man so she made her way towards him.
"I know who you are, and I want to help" he said once she got close enough. "I know a man who can help you and the airbender to learn firebending" he continued. Kanya nodded and then looked over to where her siblings were now searching the crowd for her.
They caught sight of her and dragged Aang with them to where she was standing. "We need to go with this man" Kanya told them and then led them after him.
"The man I serve was the first to ever escape the Fire Nation army and live" The man named Chey explained. "I believe he can help you both to learn the disciplines of firebending" he finished as they arrived to a small clearing with a few huts.
"Aang and Kanya come with me" Chey said as he led them to the hut furthest away.
He pulled aside the curtain-door to the master's hut and gently nudged them inside.
"You are not ready" the man said to the two Avatars. "You must master air and water before you can learn fire."
"But master, this is our only chance to learn firebending" Aang pleaded.
"That is all very well Aang but Kanya simply cannot learn firebending at this point. Fire is the opposite of water and will be the most difficult for her to learn." The master explained.
"I do not wish to learn anyways" Kanya responded.
"But I will teach you Aang, if you really believe you are ready" the master told the airbender. "Tomorrow morning meet me here."
Kanya and Aang bowed to the master before leaving the hut and going to find Katara and Sokka.
As morning broke over the horizon Aang stood eagerly by the master's hut.
Kanya and Katara were by the river bank practicing waterbending while Sokka sat on a high rock trying to fish.
The master emerged, "I can sense your impatience Aang, but we must begin with breathing exercises" he instructed.
Aang frowned and began to breathe in and out as the master walked down the path to find Chey. "This is so boring" he complained to the waterbending sisters once the master was out of earshot.
They chuckled as they passed the water back and forth between them.
"I think I remember how that firebender did it at the festival" Aang muttered as Kanya went off to go find Sokka and Katara walked towards Aang.
"I did it!" Aang said as he produced a rather large flame. He started to bend it between each hand and then he lost control.
Katara screamed as she shielded her face from the flame. She started to cry as the pain of the burns settled into her hands. Aang flew over to her, "I'm so sorry!" he exclaimed as she began to sob.
Sokka and Kanya came running after they heard Katara scream. Sokka tackled Aang, "what did you do to her?" he demanded.
"It was an accident, I'm sorry Katara" Aang said. Katara ran away from the group and Kanya followed her farther down the river.
"Let me see" Kanya said to her little sister once she stopped running. Katara hesitantly placed her hands palm up on Kanya's. Kanya gently bent some water over the wounds, her and Katara's hands began to glow blue and the burns disappeared.
"Whoa" Katara said as her hands lost the blue glow and she checked them out.
"I think we have healing powers" Kanya muttered as Sokka walked up to them.
"We need to leave" he said, "Fire Nation men are here looking for Kanya and Aang" he explained.
Out from behind some trees came Aang riding on Appa, "let's go!" he yelled as he hovered above the water. Kanya grabbed onto her siblings and floated them over the water and onto Appa before the bison swiftly flew away.
Katara moved towards Aang, "I'm healed" she told him quietly.
"What? How?" he asked as he turned to face her.
"I think Kanya and I have healing abilities" Katara explained.
Aang smiled and Katara smiled back.
"Where are we going now?" Sokka asked loudly.
"The Northern Air Temple" Kanya said, "I think we're close and maybe we can go there and find some airbenders" she continued.
Aang beamed at Kanya and then returned to steering Appa towards the Northern Air Temple.
