Some comic strips have continuity in that it has a common theme for a select number of days. For it to successful it must have a punchline (or act 3) built in each daily comic and hopefully it is funny or strikes a familiar cord. I've talked to a few writers that tell me that they think it might be difficult to transision from a story book writer to a daily comic strip writer. I was wondering what your thoughts might be.</p> Why do you need a....

<p>I wanted some feedback from the community on this idea as I have never written any type of book before.</p>

<p><span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: arial black,avant garde;">My name is Terry S. Bradley "Nubbiebee". I never dreamed I would ever hold such a prestigious title as author, much less a children's book author. Though my life's story, I often wanted to bring out in the open. I never thought it even possible due to my limited ability and education. That changed with the one tool I learned to hate just as much as I come to love, a computer. Though I am not any wiser in my education, a path of freedom is now within reach. Though in reality just as far way as the moon. " How Bees Came To Make Chili " Nubbiebee's Vol 1 is my first publication, released the 18th day of June 2013. How I am doing remains to be seen, but my hopes are higher than ever before of achieving a sense of self satisfaction of which I never thought possible before at any point in my life. I never even knew I had a talent of writing, though in retrospect I should have seen this long ago. After all my mind never stopped, constantly filled with thought and after all is that not what a author really is. Only most such as my self go that extra step in writing it down. Forming a consistent path of which to lead one down a tale that entertains the mind filling it with emotion, understanding, excitement and even compassion for things they can not explain. I always new words were the most powerful tools we as humans had to change not only ourselves and how we are seen, but to change the world around us, affecting even the things that haunt us. Be it our child hoods, our mistakes or the lessons we learned along the way of life's path that has a journey of surprise awaiting us all. To pass things down to a world that is new and help them become more equipped to deal with understanding the world in which we live and how it affects those around them threw observation and kindness, with the willingness to help change the world themselves. For me this opportunity is nothing short of a blessing of which I have been blindly lead, and that I am very thankful for. <a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1272107426?profile=original">12166297-howbeesmakechili.jpg</a></span></p>

<p>Hello Writers,</p>
<p>I write children's books and children's poetry as well as women's novels and adult poetry. I am lucky enough to have been guided to some great reviewers for the adult fare, but so far have not had the time to look into children's book reviewers. </p>

<blockquote>When I considered writing a guest post, I thought to myself, what do I know about writing for children? True, I just had a children’s book published, but I still thought of that as kind of an accident. Truth is, I have never been been singled out for my writing talent, I had never considered myself a writer, and I had never written a single story, until about three years ago. Maybe you feel the same way?</blockquote>
