While still unpublished to date, I love every step of my new journey, and this post and your site, help keep me going! My novel, written, at age 8, was called Pam's Summer! I set it in New York City, a place I had never been and wrote it on yellow foolscap as that was what I was told writer's use! Thank you for a wonderful gift this morning!WendyMcLeodMacKnighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830981147524921562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488191966351130111.post-17736946485074767652014-06-03T05:12:27.212-05:002014-06-03T05:12:27.212-05:00It looks like you could be an author-illustrator! ...It looks like you could be an author-illustrator!
