Almost Done!

So, last entry I told you I was about to start a class with my mom called "Writing Childrens Books." Ok, so it's been kicking my butt! I have really enjoyed it and I like my story (or parts of it) but it's certainly got a lot of work if I ever want to sent it to a publisher. My mom's story, however, is so beautiful and sweet! I can't wait for her to tighten it up and send it in. It's about my Nana when she was just 5 yrs old and how she wants to help get ready for the school festival but she's too young. It's a gem! I am so proud of my mom!!! Honestly, that's the true reason for taking this class: so my mom could take it... and so I could see the illustration angle of the business. Turns out it's not best to submit a story with illustrations. So, we might have to get out there on our own and then start working together after we're famous! hahaa wouldn't that be great!!!?!!! I think so! Anyway, we have about 2 more classes where we'll be critiquing the rest of the classes stories (we did ours the last week - phew!) I guess I could be frustrated that my story needs a lot of work (though the class said the elements were there and they were extremely clever - yes!) I currently don't feel like working on the story - ha! I think, instead, I'll start illustrating it! We'll see how that goes :o)

Cheers! Abigail
