Sometimes suprises happen

No, I am not pregnant!

Today started out normal like any other day.

Early in the afternoon I started to get that writing "bug" the one that makes me want to write a whole book, now. Of course I had nothing sitting in my head to write ABOUT. When I do write my book I want it to be profound, at least for me, additional bonus if the readers find the same thing. It is a rather lofty goal to think of writing a book, taking 9 credits, raising 2 kids and 2 cats, and running my house all while being a wife.

By the end of the day I am knee-deep into writing a children's book. A book that might have some potential even. I hadn't even considered it until about 8pm...and now its 11pm and I have just about all the story thought out, just need to write it all out.

I also have an illustrator that is very excited to be working on such a thing and is starting a draft of what the main character is going to look like.

How strange how things come out of nowhere sometimes!

So funny to hear you talk about writing a childrens' book. Based on some funny events over the years, Ed and I crafted a character and we always thought it would be fun to create a childrens' series.
Good luck!
