This is hilarious, and, sadly, all too true. As a writer/editor with 20 plus years in the children's book biz, I can't tell you how many times people, upon finding out my profession, have volunteered that they too have an idea for a children's book and will be writing it "when they have the time." Without having put one word on the page, they then request tips on getting published!
Sad, but so likely true.
ReplyDeleteSo funny..... and also so familiar.

ReplyDeleteOMG - hilarious! It's very unsettling however because it's eerily close to many conversations I've had for real! Thanks for the laugh!
