I Wrote A Book!<\/p>\n
For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to be a writer. In elementary school, I actually wrote a series based on my dog, Betsy. She was an over weight beagle. The series was called Detective Fat and Furry. It starred Betsy as a detective. She had her own detective agency and every dog I knew (my grandmother’s dog, Bear, my neighbor’s dog, Rover, etc.) worked for her and together they would solve mysteries and crimes! I even went as far as making the pages the size of a paperback book and making a front and back cover for them.<\/p>\n
So, I am very proud to say, that I have published my first ebook! It’s called Cookie and the Frowny Face Day. It’s about a cat who is having a bad day and tries everything she can to make it better.<\/p>\n
The book came about because I was having a frowny face day (aka bad day) myself. It had seemed like I had been having a lot of them at that point and I was determined that something positive was going to come from this bad day.
\nI don’t quite remember why I chose my cat, Oreo to be the star of the book, as opposed to my other cat. It could have been for a couple of reasons. It may have been that Oreo was the cat that happened to be in the room when I started writing. It could also have been for a while, Olivia liked to chase Oreo around the house much to the black and white cat’s chagrin.<\/p>\n
I changed Oreo’s name to Cookie in the book. The reason being I wasn’t sure if I could use the name Oreo because of the cookies. (And don’t worry, Olivia does make an appearance!)<\/p>\n
For some reason I thought making a children’s book would be easy. It actually turned out to be tougher than I thought. Writing and illustrating the story was the easy part! Figuring out how to convert it to a format that could be uploaded and read on different devices was the tough part. It took me a while to get it right, but in the end it was worth it!<\/p>\n
For those of you that are interested, Cookie and the Frowny Face Day can be found on Amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\n I love writing and look forward to writing many more books in the future?
