Book it…
I have dabbled with the idea of writing children’s books for years!
The work I have had the opportunity to perform as an educator has definitely informed some of my thoughts on this subject.
Such as…
Guiding and learning beside little learners, sharing the wonder of books with fellow educators and life-long learners (some of the best things I learned while teaching!), and the time spent worlds away in local libraries…hoping to share the adventure with my students.
My life & experiences, musings, family, and my imaginative daughter remain/have become my inspirations.
I have my journals, “Writing Children’s Books for Dummies” By Lisa Rojany Buccieri and Peter Economy, and my “epiphany-swirl” of ideas.
As a long-time writer of poems and prose, I love the idea of putting pen/pencil to paper to scribble, erase, rethink/rewrite, and place energy into the instrument of choice.
The thoughts/ideas leap out, dancing on the paper, bonding and creating something new.
It’s rebirth each…and…every…time.
It feels very intimate and personal. It feels like I imparted soul into the words on the pages.
Am I more excited about the journey or the outcome?!
Truly…
the journey is so necessary and magical…
All that I will learn during the process…
All that I will share at the completion of each work.
