write a book and get published

I sometimes wake up in the night with ideas for books, it’s very strange. I have written a number of children’s books but lack the refined skills to illustrate them (which I would like to do). I am currently looking at different techniques and I am hoping to eventually come up with some art work to accompany my text.

Hiya to all the writers ..
I too have steeped into this …been keeping a journal for the past 6 months..dunno if it gets published or not but i am sure its going ot help in personal development and clearing up that space between my ears….it helps me alot!
cheers

i will write a great book. maybe not the next great american novel, but something that will inspire, influence, change someone’s thinking, give someone hope and maybe just tell my story. or any story. sigh one day. i’ll have time, and focus and my imagination will spring to life.
i look at all the different things i’ve written over the years and on some days I think they are pretty good! especially after i’ve read a moderately successful novel, or chick-lit book. i’m reading along and the whole time thinking, ” i can do this! I could write a book. better then this one anyway!”.

Okay, so I’ve always been a writer, and I’ve actually written a couple books. Crappy, I know, but books all the same. All I have to do is revise, revise, revise, and hey I might come up with something good! You never know, but I’ve been quite lazy lately and most of the time I just want to throw my writing at the wall.

always loved to write but can never get myself to write anything longer than two paragraphs. the passion is there, the ideas are there, but the will and discipline are not there.
