#0help with a children's book
Posted: 5/2/05 at 4:34pmFor school my teacher is making us write a children's picture book. I just need a basic idea of what I should write about. I am not sure what to do at all.

Posted: 5/2/05 at 4:36pmWell since you are on a theater board, how about a little girl that sneaks backstage in a Broadway show.

Posted: 5/2/05 at 4:41pmI know I can do it on anything. Also, I do like that girl sneaking backstage but I am not sure if i want to do a theater related book. Something my writing wont do. I am better at writing really strange weird stuff. So I am thinking something a little less realistic. Keep um coming. Thanks for the ideas though!

Posted: 5/2/05 at 4:47pmI love that little dolphin thing to the coral reef. Kinda cute! I am looking for something more weird and outrageous cause thats what i have fun writing. So like just something out there and crazy.

Posted: 5/2/05 at 4:50pmi like writing more like the vampire/witch/werewolf genre, but that's not good for childrens books necessarily.
