Children's books

I have decided to write children's books. J.K. Rowling at one time lived out of her car. She is now the richest woman in England. Richer than the queen. I wouldn't mind being rich and having a job that merely involves using ones imagination. Now I spend my time doing mind numbing tasks and counting. I need to start exercising my brain more I think. I should start getting back into writing poems (the structured kind since they require more thought). If only I had better grammer and vocabulary but thats something easily fixed with practice.

So what to write novels or illustrated books. I used to have some skill at drawing but again that it something of the past it seems. My hands just aren't as skill as they used to be at smooth lines. I wish Tech had had art classes I could have taken. They were all so locked away with space for only 8 art majors. The only art I could take is like into to design or art history neither of which have you do any sort of hands on fun. I miss Art Camp from when I was younger. those were the days. Two weeks of the summer doing nothing but dancing drawing painting acting and enjoying the company of little kids. Who say odd things and look up to you because your taller and you talk to them like a regular person. i loved being a counselor because it was so easy to feel important with little kids wanting you to look at and approve of everything they did.

Maybe I should have been a teacher. But I always worry that I would get bored of it plus it seems like every woman in my family is one so how boring to follow in all their footsteps. I had decided sophomore year when Tech decided to no longer carry the teaching program that I must not have been meant to be one. Because what a pain it would have been to transfer schools to try to do something i dont even know that I would want to do.

But children's books that would be great. Or to open a small cute bookstore/cafe and bakery. I could make cookies and read stories at noon on Saturdays. This will all probably never happen but its nice to dream.
