They’re here! My first two children’s books for Capstone Press arrived in a big white box this past week. It felt like Christmas as I sliced through the tape on the lid, pulled aside the crumpled newsprint paper and smelled the ink of a newly pressed book. The binding creaked as I opened “Scary Folktales.”
I itched to open “Real-Life Vampires.”
My neighbour’s little girl came over for a visit and I showed her the books. She read the name beneath the titles and looked up at me. “Does this mean you are a writer now?”
Four hundred articles in magazines, newspapers and online. Twelve years as a freelancer. A room dedicated to computer, desk, writing supplies and reference books.
“Yes, sweetie, I’m a writer now.”
“The dictionary is the only place where success comes before work.”
