So the better part of my day today was spent working on a little project C and I discussed last night. He asked, "why don't you write a children's book"? This is something I have thought about in the past, and for some reason have always talked myself out of it. I find that in today's society most people minimize their talents and just assume they are never going to be good enough. It takes some one of a very strong will to accomplish any of their little goals. What we don't realize though is these little goals will always lead to bigger feats.
Going with the theme of my blog I took the initiative today and decided to get cracking on my little project. I started by coming up with the base for my stories. Things like setting, character's, story line's etc. By the time I finished all that I thought to myself "M is sleeping you've got nothing but time, why don't you test the waters and try to write one of these books"? In the end I wrote six books and thought of an amazing selling point (which unfortunately for you I am not willing to share just yet). Before I start looking for help publishing I have decided to consult with some family and bring them the stories to see what they think. When I was done I was all by myself sitting at my kitchen table beaming at no one. The pride I was able to take in this little thing that I accomplished had me so overwhelmed I almost gave my self a nice hard pat on the back. Like you do in kindergarten...
However in doing this today I have discovered that nothing is impossible if you will it to happen. I had been toying with the idea of these children's books for years even before I had my daughter. Realistically it was C and M who have inspired me to follow through with this goal. However the fact that I have wanted to do this so long has made me realize I had it in me the whole time. Right now I feel as though I'm on top of the world, I'm left wondering what amazing "little thing" can I accomplish tomorrow.....?
I can't wait to read the books. Great Idea thinking things through, envisioning all stages of the game.
