July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
On this day in 1986, the one billionth Little Golden Book was printed. The title was The Poky Little Puppy . Have you ever wanted to write a children's book? What would you write about? Would they be individual titles, or part of a series?  I would like to write some children's books. I don't write often enough to get many projects started. I did an internship with the Purple Martin Association in Edinboro, Pennsylvania. It occurred to me at that time to write a children's story about Birds. I even started it so it is hanging somewhere unfinished. At the time my supervisor in the PMCA was collaborating with someone to write a children's story about Purple Martins. We compared plots and although hers and mine were different I decided to put my story away until a later date until hers came out in print, so I would be sure nothing I wrote was in any conflict with her story. I think a series of any kind is different. It has to follow a theme and probably should have characters that are regularly associated. Are children as involved with character friendships as adults? I can remember Louisa Mae Alcott books and another group I read as a child called. "Seven Cousins." They were series books. A writer must be dedicated to the subject to write a series. |
