Great timing for this video Jon. I’m feeling a bit burnt out and your video helped me to focus.
These are inspirational suggestions.
Thank you Jon for an informative and educational video. The seven tips for Children’s book writers is helpful. I think beginning authors will benefit from your insights.

Thanks Lily — that was great!
I would just like to say that writing childrens books is a great way to teach using personal creativity. The imagination is endless when story times come. Maybe someone needs to hear what you write, no matter if your book gets published. The most fulfilling part of book writing is that is touches someones soul. Rather it be something to relate to, or something you have an interest in, or basic storys’, we all like to share. Everyone tells me I should write a book on my life, but I see beyond my life. Personally I would love to write a creative story with lots of magical tones as well as to teach common life lessons. My years in college have giving me great stepping stones to get strated. Thanks to the CBI clubhouse, my interest in children writing is become more of a reality than just an interest. Thank you again

I like Step #1. I will write what I can when I am able. As long as I’m putting my heart into my work, I think I will grow as a writer. Practice is critical to reaching my goals… thank you!
