Writing novels - a new project

Writing a novel is something I've wanted to do for years, but have never seriously tried. To be honest, I've tried to write stories and books, but never felt like they were good enough for the grownup book market. So last fall I had an idea - write a kids' book!

I was inspired by my older daughter, who is a voracious reader. Attempting to write a book geared towards her was much easier than trying to write something geared towards adults. Once I got started, I found a groove and since October I'e have written 2 books with a third and fourth already in the works.

The first and second book are part of a series of three books. I chose sci-fi as the genre because it is something I love and because it is a nice backdrop for a story. At the moment, I'm polishing the first book as much as I can before I submit it to a bunch of agents.

My long term dream is to be a full time author. However, the short term dream at this point is to get one book published, then get all of them published. As I make progress, I'll post updates.
