Writing a children's book

So after first having the idea in like fifth grade, the book I always wanted to get published is going to the first publisher. I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high but I truly feel that this book, this labor of love, this God inspired word for children is supposed to be out there. It might take more time - I'm sure it will in fact. It's going to happen and I'm very excited about it. I've gotten some very positive feedback from former school teachers and others which has really helped me stay positive regarding the future of my book. Wish me luck and I'll keep posting about my journey from little Midwest mom with a dream to author!!
