The Famous Writer's Block

Assignment number 1; part one: Write a letter to your instructor and introduce yourself. Wow, I find it difficult to write about myself. And, the assignment says not to worry about punctuation and grammar -- which makes me worry about it all the more! One more week and it's due -- with a short story. Whew! Better get cracking. I'll post when it's finished.

Let's Get Started!!!

Well, after thinking about it for almost a year, I signed up for a children's writer course through the Institute of Children's Literature. I researched around a bit and found many people on the Internet seem happy with it; I didn't find any negative feedback on it. One gentleman did put the "apptitude test" through the ringer and found that it may be legit. I seem to have lost the link though; I will post it when I find it. It's kind of amusing.

The Institute has been in business for 35 years and is registered with the BBB, so I decided to go for it. I look forward to the adventure! Maybe one day I will actually be a published writer of children's books. If not, I can only be better from the experience. That's all for now.........
