I want to be an author and thought Id start with childrens books because they e easier to write than books for adults. How do I get started?
First of all, children’s books can be a lot more difficult to write than books for adults. Many children’s books may be shorter, but that means less space to develop characters and plot or choose which information goes in a nonfiction book. Many books on the craft of writing for children are available in libraries and bookstore. To get started writing, simply block out a specific time to write. Start with an hour or even a half-hour once a day or even once a week at first and sit down and write anything just to get in the habit of writing. You don’t have to start the story at the beginning, but write what strikes you at that moment. Remember that a large part of writing is rewriting so the words don’t have to be perfect the first time they’re put on paper.
