done this in a while, and we have some new member we'd love to get acquainted with. Just take a minute to introduce yourselves and tell us a little bit about you, your hopes, your fantasies about writing or anything else you'd like to share with us.

I'm Eyewrite, and I just found this board today (m)
I'm older than 20 and less than 100. Like Anita, I have enjoyed reading and writing ever since I can remember.
I'm trying to get my children's picture book stories published and I know that it takes great perserverence. So I've started a collection of rejection letters. They mean that I'm out there and trying.
I've been a chemist making rechargeable batteries, a fitness instructor, a sandwich maker... but currently I'm a technical writer and aspiring children's picture book author. I've been dabbling in short stories recently. Writing for adults is a break from writing for kids!
I hope to be posting more here soon. I think I'll try that exercise higher up on the board.
Bye for now, Eyewrite
Hi Eyewrite & Welcome to the SSB (m)
I'm happy you found us and I am excited about you trying the exercise. I look forward to reading it.
Again, welcome to the board.

Hi Eyewrite...(m)
Congratulations on your collection of rejection letters! I will probably never have the courage to submit anything. I absolutely love children's books. I definitely read more of them than adult books, 30 a month compared to about 2 a month. My daughter's favorite book is Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr. and John Archambault.
I look forward to reading some of your writing. ~Anita
hi and wecome, eyewrite. We're looking forward to your(m)
participation here. And I like the chutzpa in your rejection collection. I have a few of those myself -- LOL.

Thanks, and I'm happy to meet you all (m)
I'll post my Dec. exercise shortly.
Have a good day, Eyewrite
Thank you. It's a small collection presently, however (m)
It'll be growing shortly. I plan to get two more stories "out there" to publishers before Christmas. Gasp! I'd better get a move on.
How old is your daughter and what sorts of things does she like in a book? Rhyme? Silliness? Suprise? Funky drawings? (we all love those :)
Looking forward to getting to know you. Have a great day, Eyewrite
Well, when you hear that some published authors had (m)
up to 100 rejections, you can't let a few get you down.
What kind of work are you trying to get published? A novel or perhaps a collection of short stories?
Looking forward to getting to read your work.
Have a great day, Eyewrite
Hi eyewrite...
Congrats on getting your stories out there.
My daughter is six and she loves silly stories, mostly with rhyme or just a nice rhythm. Colorful pictures are a must with her.
Have a good night! ~anita
