Sometimes we make things way harder than they have to be. There is no need to reinvent the wheel. It works amazingly as is. But because we are human; we want to make it better.
For those of you that read my work, I published my first work on KDP. There is an idea rolling around in my brain for a series of children’s picture books. So let’s get started. Right?
Originally, I had Google pictures print these. And dare I say, they were lovely. But not complete books. And not in a format where the public could find them.
Up loading the e-book, it’s okay but no where near as nice as the original Google photo book. Oh, the paperback broke my heart. Not only couldn’t I do the images in color. KDP wanted 72 pages for a completely color paperback. The images were distorted and (dare I say) gross.
I left the e-book live but unpublished the paperback. Until I can get it looking more like the way I want it.
A fellow blogger suggested Atticus. https://dawnpisturino.wordpress.com/ And I’ve learned that KDP offers templates. So, I’m gonna try to find those next.
This has truly been a learning experience. I’m not trying to reinvent the wheel. Just trying to learn.

Looking forward to reading it.
Believe me, I know about the Day job thing. I had high hopes and expectations. I thought once I sold my very first book, that it was going to go uphill from there and I was going to be able to stop working for the man, and just stay home and write books. HA !!! I laugh at that dream !!! I pity the fool that made me believe in that Hope and Dream… Oh wait, that was me .. HaHaHA. But in all honesty, we have to believe that we are called to share what we share and chosen to write. So even if one person is transformed or blessed by what we wrote and share, then it’s all worth it for me. BUT !!! And yes, there is a but … I would love to retire and just write all day and night. That is a dream.
Wishing you Much Success

I watch these YouTube videos all the time produced by Alux. In one of the videos they talk about how when you find something you like to do, other things will seem like they get in the way. Amen! Just want to work on my stories/writing. Don’t want to go house chores or much else. But right now, writing is taking the back burner. 😢 Wouldn’t it be something else to just write the day away? How long you reckon till be got tired of that too? 🤔

Lean on God and let Him guide you. I know exactly how you feel. Everything gets in the way of my writing at times and by the time I go to start, I am so exhausted that I don’t want to do it anymore. What I do, is I start in Prayer and if the Lord wants me to write, He will always make a way.
