Yeah. I posted a thread a while back about publishing with amazon. Well, I managed to get through it all, and have it all under my belt so that I can do the next couple with ease.
Anyway, a few weeks back, I decided to start writing children’s books. I’ve been a teacher for over a decade and worked with all ages and abilities, and have read many a story. My daughter (aged 3) loves books, can’t get enough of them. So... I thought what the hell.
So I sat down, and in the space of a week, I wrote a story, did all my art concepts, and painted it all out.
And now it’s published... and people are buying it. Not many. It's been love like 2 days and I’ve sold barely 20 copies, lol. But I’ve somehow managed to write, draw and release my own book.
Crazy.
I’m now working on my second and third books that fit in with the first. Hopefully will have the second done by next weekend.
It’s a great feeling! Anybody else ever done anything like it? I would post the link here, but I’m not 100% on the rules of self pimpage on Gaf so I’ll leave it off for now. But if I’m told it’s ok, I’ll post some pics and info etc
TLDR: Woke up, wrote a kids book, it’s out now.
