I Wrote Something

I did. I really did!

It's a cute little children's story and it's perfect. I've read it out loud to test it for story time worthiness and it's good. My kids at school would like it. It's got love and hate and booger and fart jokes.
Now I just need to send it to some adults to read for a final evaluation.
If you are an adult and I know you and you like books, have several children, you write and or read a lot, you might just be in my group of first reviewers.
I'm excited.
I'm proud of my story.
I want to share it and I might need a little help.
I'm researching publishers right now to see who I want to send it to. Scholastic for sure because they are my peeps, but I need a few more to round out the options.
After doing some research I've learned that one-off children's stories are not agent worthy and that the best bet is to send it into publisher slush piles and hope for the best. I'm going to do that and keep my fingers crossed that somebody picks it up and reads it and likes it and sees the potential.
It's a step in the right direction.
This is what I'm supposed to be using my extra two days off a week for: writing and moving forward with what I want out of life.
I want to tell great stories. I want to make kids laugh and let them know that stories can make you feel better.
