Grandma said, "You are a writer!"

In the middle of 6th grade I was pulled from public school and home schooled by my Grandmother. From the very moment she started teaching me she encouraged me to write! She said I had an amazing gift. At that time I took it like she just wanted me to get my "Creative Writing" done. A few years have passed and she saved all my short stories. I recently read them, as a 6th grader I wrote some pretty cool stuff. In the past few months I have had some people encourage me to put my ideas and art on paper. I thinking timing is perfect!

I sketched the first picture today! Will I use it? Not sure. I think I will work on a couple different sketches until I know, that I know its the one. I do know that I have a vision for a GREAT Children's book with a fabulous faith lesson. It's inspired by my youngest son Jesse. Very Exciting!

Special note: Thank you to a few new Twitter friends you have given me some much needed writing/illustrating/publishing direction! I'm so thankful to be surrounded by such joyful, and inspiring people. Loves to everyone!
