After getting about 30 rejections from the queries I sent out to the Literary Agents and seeing pretty much the same response, not for me, not a drawl, etc; I decided to leave the Poodles behind for a book or two.
I have been wanting to write a different children's book. A magical fantasy of sorts.
I have had the characters names for a while and have been brainstorming the plot and the citizens now.
I think I have a good start now. Now I just need to begin the story, figure out a villain and an adventure. Which you know each story should always have these to keep the kids interest. That is why Disney always has a villain and a triumph at the end of the adventure.
When writing a children's book, don't be afraid to go way out in your creativity. Set your imagination loose. Sometimes it is amazing the stories you can come up with. Tap into that inner child. There is a mountain of creative story lines and characters waiting.
My goal is to finish this book by the end of July and start sending queries out to the same Literary Agents that shot me down before. Maybe this magically fairy tale will spark their interest more.
More to come as I continue to build the story.
