And So I speak...  I think that I have finally decided to write and that the thing for me to write is what  know and what I am passionate about... therefore.. Childrens books.  I think they will be good. about a child who has a multi ehtnic, multi generatioanl, family who live different lifestyles.  The topics would be her learning about the differences through interactions with peers, in school, or even in the general public and spreading her love and knowledge and experiences in a simple way to other kids. a way to ultimately teach kids my favorite quote... "it matters not who you love, or how you love, but THAT you love."   or in this case... are loved.

I have wanted to write for years and just feel this is a place to start.  New things are always scary... but we have to break out of our shells.  I can't sit around wanting to write, helping people write thier letters, resumes, writing erotic short stories,doing blogs or unpaid restaurant critiques on Yahoo Local forever... no matter how many people tell me I am a good writer, I can't seem to get the plot, character and dialogue down for a novel down and am not in a financial place to take a class to teach me what i need in that department.  So I will start here. 

I have a feeling it is the right choice... I woke up with the name of the character and an outline of a plot for the introductory book right inmy mind this morning asking my partner how old this child should be when I introduce her....

Good sign.

wish me luck
