Today was a really good day for me. My creative juices were flowing well. As I was doing my journal; ideas, for the story I wrote the scene for, began coming into my mind. I now have named the characters and begun a plot.
In addition to that, I did two book reviews for Children’s Literature. I reviewed Amy’s Light by Robert Nutt who did photo illustrations of his daughter for the book. It is published by Dawn Publications and the story is about a little girls who is in her bed fearing the dark, when she sees light coming in her window. The yard is full of lightning bugs. I won’t give away the rest of the story. If you want to read my review it will be on childrenslit.com, but I don’t know when.
The second book is What I Look Like When I am Surprised. It is only about 100 words, with one to three lines on a page and full page photos of children showing how they look when they are surprised. As I mentioned in the review, children will have fun mimicking the expressions. It is by Joanne Shepherd with photos by Maura B. McConnell and published by The Roen Publishing Group, Inc.
I also wrote what would be song lyrics, to enter into a contest writing.com has going. I was to use "A Note to Self" as the title. Mine is about a man who had an argument with his wife and is thinking about it at work. When he opens his lunch, he finds a note from her apologizing to him. He writes a note to himself to buy her flowers and remember how much he loves her. The chorus goes "A note to self, so I won’t forget the things that I must do. A note to self, lest I forget how much I love you too."
IT'S NEVER TOO LATE!
