I'm thinking of writing a childrens book!

I have always wanted to do this. Even as a child I wanted to write a book. I think that I will start small and write a children's' book. I have so many ideas and I have a friend who can draw anything. I will write the story and ask her to illustrate to her hearts content. I will be sure to let you all now how it is going and let you know when it gets published. ;)

I am very excited about this and I want to get started right away. I will go sit in a quiet spot in the house and start brain storming before I start to write. I also want to send a note to my friend to see if this is something she would be interested in. :)

What do you all think? Have you ever written a book before? Was it published? How was the process?
