Dear Reader,
I ripped out the moral at the end and sent the Laddu story out to a children's magazine today. I am fairly sure it will be rejected. It has nothing special to teach; it's just a little story. But well it's a start. I'll try and come up with something a little more interesting and informative for children. Then I'll shoot it to the same magazine. Let's see how that plays out.
I kind of liked my experiment of yesterday. But the only problem is I've never been in a shootout nor have I ever been a teacher. So I'm going to have to do a lot of work to be able to take the story forward. Maybe I'll use the same setting but change the story and the character. That might work.
I'm too tired to write anything on a Monday evening. I decided to do my writing the first thing every morning. I'll go to the office early and before the others start coming in, I'll write. It would be a good way to start the day. Because, you know what, I enjoy this very much.
Please stay with me.
With love,
Ann
