Gud, fwiw, I like your style better for the story you're telling, too.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Is there any sort of discussion board/forum for children's book writers? I would love to check one out. Any recs?

Verla Kay's Blue Board, seems to be the big one, Allyson.

My agent has concerns about me writing another essay collection in this market, which breaks my heart. That's my joy! I figure it will take me about 6-9 months to put together enough solid essays, a decent proposal, and to keep a watchful eye on the market. I just remain hopeful.
I truly am ignorant on the children's market and where Sam falls within it. All my reading of the market is all, WOE TO THE TALKING ANIMAL STORY.
Publishing is such a doom and gloom business.
I fully expect to keep a full time job for the rest of my life, and not be a literary star.
But the gloominess is starting to wear on me.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Write the essays anyway, and have fun with them. Their time will come.

The market's got to pick up someday, Allyson.

Because books.
Maybe write them and try to publish them in some print outlets, or various websites?

You know, I don't even know where to begin with magazines. I really should look into that.
