When I decided to start writing my first children's book, I wasn't sure what to expect. I had a plan in mind for what I wanted, but getting started was difficult. Maybe you are like me. It took a lot of hard work, and patience on my part. The best thing I ever did was to get other people involved in the process. I bounced ideas off of family members and friends. I even got a couple of professors to help me with editing. Now my first book is about to be published, and I'm so excited!!!
