I’ve been thinking about writing a children’s book.
A few days ago, I couldn’t sleep, which happens to me quite a bit. During my bout with insomnia, I kept thinking about the first few pages of the book that I wanted to write. As the evening went on, the more I thought about it, the more I got excited about the project. The more excited I got about the project, the more I couldn’t sleep! It was this whole positive feedback loop…thing.
I know that I have a history of starting projects and then letting them get all mouldy and dusty from neglect, but I’ve been thinking about doing something like this for a few years now. I’ve never considered myself a great writer, but I do have a sense of humour that might be appreciated by children. In fact, some may say that my sense of humour is appreciated by no one else but children! I think I can use that to my advantage.
In addition to this, I wanted to include my own artwork into the book. Like my thoughts about my own writing, I think that my unsophisticated artwork could actually be a benefit to the book that I have in mind. Sure there are tonnes of books out there with eloquent prose and artwork that could make you absolutely weep! But do we really need another GOOD book out there? Isn’t there room for at Chapters, Boarders, Amazon, etc. for both excellent books as well as bargain bin books?
The character to the left will be the protagonist in the book. *scoff* Not really. I was just doodling and needed something to occupy a bit of space in this blog post.
