But....I'm so great! HAHAHA! I am a children's book author who is using Steemit to pass the time whilst avoiding banging my head against the wall. Writing is stressful work, waiting for reviews for your writing is even worse. Would I like to be a big fish? Eventually, but everyone knows Rome was not built in a day. For now, I will use this space to improve my writing, purge a few ideas that aren't quite book worthy, and meet new people.
Thanks for the post, and keep up the great work!
Hello @molovelly
No head banging unless there's some wicked heavy metal involved! lol
I've found 4-6 year old's to be a treasure trove of fantastical story ideas.
Just a quick question about your work- Are you paired with an illustrator by your publisher for your writing or do you have to find your own artist? I have quite a few illustrator friends if you need some contacts. Always looking out for them for work. Freelance life is a hard one :)
I actually write and illustrate the stories. Currently self-publishing on Amazon, not sure I want to be told what to write and what-not by an Agent/Publishing House. So far the theme of the stories seems to be insects with issues...lol there's a bossy butterfly, an anxious rolypoly, a forgetful grasshopper, an egotistical ant and Sam, the spider who somehow holds it all together. I do have one that I am unsure about the illustrations on, so when that project hits my plate, I will keep you and your friends in mind!
The stories sound sweet :)
How are you finding Amazon for sales? Is it up and down or fairly regular?
I'm busy preparing our coloring book for Amazon. It sold ok when we launched it in print locally so really hoping it will move well online as well. I guess it's all down to marketing.
