I love reading all different types of books. So isn't it only natural that I would have the desire to write different types of books as well?!
My first published book is a "teacher book" which contains quotes from teachers and students about what they feel makes a good teacher. My second book contains short stories which range from horror, supernatural to young adult. I am currently working on a horror novel (where my imagination usually leads). In between those, I also write children's books; however, I haven't had the guts to publish them yet.
This weekend I was watching Room on the Broom with my son. It is a super cute book and the animated version is really great. It truly got my son's attention. In fact, it got my attention too. It gave me the motivation I needed to pull out one of my own children's stories. I have at least five that I have written, but I chose one of my favorites. The plan is to finish editing and then send it out once again to agents and/or publishers. However, while I am waiting for responses, I will also be drawing and formatting. If I cannot traditionally publish this certain children's book then I will self publish it myself. Why not?

I love writing and one day I hope that I will be a full time writer versus a writer with a full time day job. In the mean time, I will write in whatever genre calls to me and just enjoy writing....because in the end, that is really the point isn't it?
Along with writing, I also enjoy reading. A fellow blogger and writer, Ashley Dotson, recently featured "Reading Resolutions" on her blog. Check it out to see mine!
