Writing for Children is FUN!?

Writer's picture: Pat J WheelerPat J Wheeler

Dear Friends,

Here I am again, surprised that you all are reading my emails! The latest news is that Bella's first book is about to go to the illustrator! I'd like to hope that this one could be completed more quickly than Winnie Acts Up (9 months from storyboard to book). I'll shoot for 6 months this time-hold me to it.


Finding an idea and creating the story is the FUN part of writing for children. The HARD part for ME is managing the ins and outs of my website. It HAS to be a work in progress because my tech helper (working regular hours in another state) and I (busy being retired) have to work around each other's schedules. At least we are in the same time zone.


For example, today I started to define "categories" on my website. That's simple, right? The category is "books." But the category box was not "live;" it wouldn't let me type anything there, no matter how many times I tried leaving the page and returning. Oooof!


Next, it asked for an "image," but one picture needed to be rotated. Try to find THAT button...not anywhere on the page! You have to go to another page, rotate it, and bring it back to the first page. The other picture that might work was too large for the space. Agggh!


HELP! It's the middle of a Tuesday and my helper may be available on Sunday? So I throw up my hands and write this blog instead.


Please have a Typical Tuesday, if you can. Or have an A-typical one like ME!!

Pat
