The best advice I can give you right now ...Hi Rob,<br /><br />The best advice I can give you right now is to continue what you are doing... CAPTURE THOSE IDEAS!. <br /><br />That’s what I call an “information dump”.<br /><br />Don’t worry, at first, about organization… just write down -- even on paper if you are away from your computer -- every story idea that pops into your head.<br /><br />When your ideas start to take form, put them into Outline format, with the help of the below MVPS (Microsoft Most Valuable Professional) article:<br /><br />How to save yourself hours by using Outline View properly<br /><br />http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/usingolview.htm<br /><br />That will, as the article title suggests, save you time and keep you on track as you develop your story.<br /><br />Next, I’d recommend that you do a Google search for “How to write a children’s book”... and read some of the umpteen thousands of hits.<br /><br />When I did that, I was astounded at how much good advice is there… many things – one being the length of children’s books – are unique to children’s books.<br /><br />You will also find forums for writers of children’s books where you can exchange ideas and perhaps even proof-reading and beta-tasks.<br /><br />You will also save yourself a lot of time if – before you actually start writing --- you read through my “how to format” tutorials on this site, and/or the links in the MVPS (Microsoft Most Valuable Professional) article mentioned above.<br /><br />That will help you to format correctly in the first place, rather than having to fix problems later.<br />CJ's Easy As Piehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08937190400653087716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3631024772188885753.post-69216051378631411722015-01-02T18:32:05.274-06:002015-01-02T18:32:05.274-06:00Hi CJ,
