"Training Wheels" #5

Well, today was a holiday (Labor Day) and I used my free time to write. Knowing how important my creative time is to me, my wife was kind enough to "allow" me to hide in my office for a large part of the day. Eventually I came out long enough to get some "extra Saturday" work done in the garage, but by then I had already had my fill of being creative.

I finally finished writing my 5th "Training Wheels" children's story today! I've been working on this one for a while, and I'm really happy with it. It's called "The Tree-Man's Trade." I tested it out tonight on my two little daughters for their bedtime story tonight. They were entertained, and that is all I could ask for. My oldest, being my biggest fan, paid extra close attention to the story, and when it was finished, told me that she was very proud of me for writing such a great story. What a good kid.

Now I've got to get these first 5 stories illustrated and find myself a good literary agent. Not sure what that's going to run me, but I'm assuming it won't be cheep. I'm going to start my 6th title tomorrow. I've already got a lot of ideas for it.
