Other than a poem in Quill & Quire when I was 16, I've never been published. However I've always felt that with the right timing and inspiration I would turn myself into a legitimate author. Well, I hunkered down last night and drafted a children's book. It's a picture book, minus the pictures. :) Decided to put it through some rigorous Quality Assurance this morning by reading it to my kids. They loved it! Now, I realize that they are likely to be somewhat biased in this assessment but hey, for an initial take on my target audience, I'm pleased. Now I'm on a mission to churn out stories and ideas on a regular basis until I have some stuff from which to pick and choose. Then I'll start submitting to publishers.
This isn't the first time that I've started up this initiative, but it IS the first time that I feel both the timing and the inspiration are there. So we shall see!
