Go For It

Over the course of this month, I've been debating if creating a children's picture book would be a good idea for my career. I'm being forced to make one for a college course anyways, so I figured why not take advantage of an opportunity & just--- go for it. 


Well, 1st of all devoting time to create a children's book would not only take time away from my Grade 5 work, & my personal life, it would be a much different experience for me from a creative view point. And honestly, that's kind of scary. That means a ton of research in checking out the market, reading about how to write & illustrate for a younger audience. But then again---


I teach pre-school. I'm around that younger audience five days a week. I've read dozens upon dozens of children's books, & good ones at that. 


After changing my story concept, & re-working a few things, I believe that I have a good project on my hands. I plan to share that project & the process it takes to complete it here on this blog. This is an excellent opportunity for me to try to expand upon what I'm already doing in creating stories for children. It's just that the children I'm creating this book for are a whole different kind  of animal, you know. The kind that pee on themselves.
