And the next goal is...... To be a writer. Learning disability aside, I did make it through graduate school for more years than I want to admit so this should be easy right? Easy it is not but to be a writer it is still one story or one blog at a time and this is where I begin.
Just to give you a little back ground, I wrote my first children's book back when I lived in Berkeley CA (over 15 years ago). It is called, Trout's Treasure Hunt. It's a felt board story, self published (by me). I sold all 100 copies over the Internet. I completed this project before joining the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) and before attending a single conference. I was unaware self publishing was not the road to publication (for most people) but have never given up the goal of writing. I still use Trout in my clinical work and may be some day will bring him back into a new story.
