Supah Cute Boy (it's his super hero nickname!)

I'm not sure if I'll have the time this morning to do this story justice. It's a Cole story. And it's really cute. However, I'm going to try.

I was talking to Cole about how I was going to find a new job this morning as I put his shoes on. He doesn't seem too perturbed or anything, so I ask him if he'd mind me not working at the bank anymore. He says, "Would you stay home and write books?" I say, "Well, I'd like to do that, but until I sell a book we wouldn't have enought money to live on. So, until that happens I'm going to find another job." He says, "Well, I could help you write a book." I say, "Would you draw the pictures?" He says, "Yes." Then he starts to get all excited and tells me how he's going to make the cover in the art area at his daycare, but he's not going to put any words on it because I'm going to do all the writing. I told him that if we sold a book that the two of us had made we'd both make lots of money. He was more excited about drawing in the art area.

But this got me thinking. I love to write, he loves to draw. If we did make a children's book it would be a mother/son collaboration. That would be so cool. And a good selling point. *sigh* Dreams can be such wonderful things.

Heh. Apparently I did have time to tell my story.
Ta.

PS - Do you see the pretty icon debalita made?

Actually, I think that's a wonderful idea. I think the drawings would really appeal to children AND to publishing companies. I can really see them grasping on to this not only for the great story, but for the fact (I have to say it), it'd be a great marketing scheme. Go for it and good luck!

Thank you! Thank you! I thought it would be a pretty cool marketing idea also.

Oh....I think you and Cole should get to working on it and Stat! Like yesterday! That is a brilliant idea! I have a friend that just compiled stories that her father had told over the years and as tribute to him and his amazing storytelling abilities she has published it and it's on Amazon! So....if you need info on what to do...let me know and I'll go and pick her brain for you.

"Go Kelly! Go Cole! It's your birthday..."...oh I am so getting carried away!

Also...I'm blushing because of your plug of me and my icon! Have I told you how much you rock lately? Well, you rock!

I'll go and pick her brain for you.
Wow! You'd do that for me? How sweet you are.

I'm definitely planning on writing a book. I just have to get Cole to start on the pictures.

Your icon was totally plug worthy. Totally.
