Taking time off

Sunday, March 04, 2012

I've decided to take some time off from Sparkpeople. I wrote a few children's books years ago and have pulled them out and dusted them off. So the 2-3 hours I spend on SP will be spent on them. I'll check in occasionally, but this is my "Rrooooaaaarrrrr!" for the month of March. I have an offer from someone who is willing to help me get them published, if that doesn't work out I'm considering self-publishing. So here I go.

I'd like for you all to keep me in your prayers because for some reason I've been putting this off. People keep telling me it's fear of success. Maybe. Sometimes its' just hard to believe that your dreams can come true, especially when you've been through so much negativity.

Feel free to offer any advice on the publishing industry, or any other advice you might have.

    What a wonderful reason to take some time off from SP! I am praying God's direction in this areas of your life. I'd love to read them, and buy them when you are done. As a school principal and formely a teacher, I read lots of children's books. I was dressed as Cat in the Hat last Friday and read books all day to some of my school classes. I adore reading and reading to children. Go write and enjoy!
