The Beginning of the Blog

10/28/2014

Let me start by saying thank you for taking time out of your life to find your way to my page and read what I have to say. I understand that your time is valuable so, with that in mind, my promise to you is that I will only post things that I think are worthy and entertaining to read and I'll be as short and sweet as possible.

You are witnessing a true work in progress here, both this page as well as myself. When I set out at the beginning of the year to pursue my dream of writing picture books I had no idea how much work went into creating one. After taking several writing courses and writing several drafts of multiple manuscripts (and revising, and revising, and revising), I finally feel like I am on my way to achieving that dream. I am not naïve and I honestly understand that the world of children's book publishing is brutal and extremely selective and I love it. It pushes me. It makes me want it even more. And now that you've read this post, you will be able to say, "I knew, Kim, when she was just starting out."
