Working on a Children's Book

5/22/2016

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

Today was a day where I actually accomplished a lot of work on one of my children's books!
I didn't get quite as much writing done as I would have liked, but I did get some written. With a children's book, when there are illustrations involved, I need to be sure of the layout of the book before I finish writing everything. It needs to make sense over the course of the book, where the story breaks at the right pages and the illustrations flow nicely.

I also accomplished more with the illustrations than I thought that I would. My little sisters were so excited when they came into my room and saw me drawing... they told me that they love to watch me draw! It was adorable. They also told me that I was great at drawing, which gave me a little confidence boost. Sure, it may have been coming from a couple of six-year-olds, but it was still really sweet.

Anyway, I took a long time to figure out how I wanted a certain character to look, but I was really happy with the end result. The first character I worked on today was pretty easy. It may have taken a while to get it drawn out perfectly, but I knew exactly where I wanted to go with it. The second character just couldn't appear in my mind as easily, which is why it took so much longer to draw. I kept going back and forth with it, drawing and erasing, drawing and erasing. There's quite a lot of eraser shavings in my garbage can! But in the end, I thought that it looked really good, and I was extremely happy with how it came out.

I'm excited to continue working on this book. It's going to be a cute children's book, but educational as well. It will become something that I hope kids would enjoy in a classroom or at home. I can't wait to see how it turns out in the end!

​Your continued support means the world to me. From foster care to novels, and family to work experiences, I look forward to sharing more of my life with you each day. Don't hesitate to share your own stories with me or ask me questions about my life. Please don't forget to like and share my Facebook author page as well!

I’d greatly appreciate it if you would share this blog with friends and family through your favorite social media sites. If you’re sharing on Twitter, don’t forget to tag me (@TayTayK02) and use the hashtag #TaylorTalks.

Thanks!
Taylor

    My family started doing foster care when I was three years old. We took in nineteen children over the course of eighteen years, with our last placement leaving in December 2014. I'm the only biological child in my family, though my parents adopted five of my siblings.

    I love to share my perspective on the foster care system and share how my unique upbringing shaped my life.

    I'm also a Cast Member at Walt Disney World and lover of all things Disney! My career allows me the opportunity to find a little bit of Magic in life every day.


    I enjoy sharing my journey as a writer as well. Find my children's books on Amazon and keep following my blog for updates on future books that I'll be releasing!
