7 Picture Books!

Well, I did it!  I have 7 new stories. Of course, all are in need of some serious love and a LOT of editing and revising but they are out of my head and on paper. Yeah!  My topics are all over the place...a bat, a train engineer, a super-hero, friendship, a mime, a crab fisherman, etc.

I found the process easier and harder than I thought it would be. Easy to come up with the story ideas, hard to finish them.

But I had fun and I'm glad I did it. It was some serious good exercise for my brain. :)

Thanks Paula Yoo (paulayoo.com) for creating this challenge!
