Publish a series of children's books

for years i dreamed of making one, or several children’s books. We used to make up stories as we were walking, quite enthralled with the ideas we made up. Years later i got kids, and the process restarted, mostly as inventing bedtime stories, which gradually grew in scope and depth. So far, it hasn’t resulted in anything, but the thought was reawakened. Indirectly it helped me put together three books make by the pupils in the school leo attends. The pupils all contributed with one story each, and with a drawing (there are 39 students in Leo’s year class, divided in three groups). One of the books actually had our bedtime story as a theme, and it was fun to see what the kids invented.
I haven’t yet gotten around to completing anything of my own, also partly because the amount of very good children stories are so abundant in Scandinavia. But i think i still would like to.

Well I seem to have found myself an illustrator for this endeavor. A good friend of ours who I have a lot in common with and has wanted to illustrate children’s books for years. LOL…...who knew?!
So next step is to whip up a rough draft of a story and send it on over to him for the artwork. WOO-HOO !!! :D I’m a happy girl!!!

I started writing manuscripts when I was in the second grade as a homework assignment and ended up falling in love with it. Over the years I wrote many manuscripts and a novel. However before I could publish any of them I put them in storage while i was in preparation to get married. After I got married and we moved into our first home I accidently included all of my manuscripts….about 23 years worth….in a pile of things to be donated to charity. It wasn’t until about a month later when I went to unpack them that I realized what had happened. So, I get to start fresh with new perspectives on life. It’s an adventure.
