Starting Your Children’s Book – There’s No Time Like Now

Posted on by Karen Cioffi

There are so many ‘time’ quotes. One that comes to mind is:

“No such thing as spare time.
No such thing as free time.
No such thing as down time.
All you got is time.
Go.”
~ Henry Rollins

Another one is:

“We all have time to spend or waste, and it is our decision what to do with it. But, once passed, it’s gone forever.”
~ Bruce Lee

And a final one I love is:

“One thing you can’t recycle is wasted time.”
~ Unknown

I thought this month is the perfect time to talk about … time.

It seems no matter what time of year it is, most of us reflect on the things we’ve done and the things we haven’t done.

I always think about my own children’s stories … the ones I’ve had on the back burner because I’ve been too busy ghostwriting for others. When I’m not as busy, I try to get a couple of pages done. But it’s always on my mind.

So, if you’ve been thinking about being the author of a children’s book, but don’t know how to write, or don’t have the time, or just don’t want to put the effort into it, look into having it ghostwritten.

Take that to-do off your list. Get your children’s story started now.

SCAM ALERT

There are ghosting sites that are stealing the profiles of reputable ghostwriters and putting them on their sites. MY SERVICES ARE ONLY OFFERED HERE. If you see my profile on another site stating I work for them, they’re scammers.
