One Writer's Life--The story Behind The story

The story Behind The story

Writing my first children's picture book all came from Be Careful What You Wish For. I visualized a young boy in my mind and keep asking what boys might wish for. I know many boys want to be good in sports but I want more that that. Eventually I settled on a pet, a swimming pool, and an allowance as the most common things a child might like to have.

Next, I needed to understand who would grant wishes other than a genie in a bottle. I went to sleep with that question on my mind and woke with an answer--a fairy. Not just any fairy but one with an attitude.

Many revisions came and went before I finally settled on a complete story which is now available on Amazon.com under the title: The Stubborn Fairy or under my name: Cherie Lee.

All authors find their own path to writing a picture book, a short story, or a novel. So if writing is something you wish to do plunge right into the task. Everything can and will be rewritten once finished until an author is satisfied the story works.https://authorcentral.amazon.com/gp/profile
