This is one writer's journey to become a published Children's Author. Join the adventure of writing, editing, rejection and ultimately publication. This blog is written honestly from a daily perspective and is woven into the writer's life with its ups and downs.
1. In the Zone

Finally an idea percolated enough that I was able to pound out a story yesterday.  I love the characters and the idea is very fun and would be fabulous with illustrations.

I wonder how fun it would be to have a critique group with illustrators, one in which once or twice a year we would do workshops and combine forces. How much fun would that be?!  Writer's really getting to take bites out of new concepts, artist getting to meet a ton of new character's.  Of course there would be great family meals, wine and I am sure lots of humor.

Maybe someday... Maybe I will make that happen, someday.

So I have my new critique group meeting tomorrow.  I am going to take my new piece and have it dragged over hot coals.  It will be interesting to see how the new dynamics arrange themselves.  I am excited to see where the new path goes and I am jazzed about writing new items.  Less jazzed about hunting for a publisher and or agent.  The work must be done.

Other than Literary Rambles have any of you found the end all list for agent/publisher hunting?

OK, back to the fun stuff.  Another concept to work on.

Until next time-

Laura
