There are only 4 chapters left; it's a short booklet for younger children (7-8 year olds), a cute story about how an old lady in a coma created a magical world whose inhabitants arrived in our world to meet their creator.

Are you writing this story or just reading it? It sounds interesting. Like it would make an awsome movie.

What's the title of the novel? When does it hit book stores? I'd buy myself a copy.

I'm writing it, of course :D I have to choose the title, so far it doesn't have one. And it's in Polish so I'm afraid it won't come out in English :D

:lol:

I was just about to make a joke about how it's not all that impressive to be nearly finished reading a children's novel.. :lol:

Four chapters left?

Sounds like you have a long way to go before you can say that you're "almost finished". :lol:

My novel just won a contest for the best young children's short story on "Mom, That's Me" - a Polish portal for young parents (for "freshly baked parents" as the Polish idiom goes). I won cosmetics. If you want to know my story, it's strongly inspired by my "Dreamland" story from the Peter Pan fandom - I just changed names and characters - just like the lady who wrote "Fifty Shades of Grey" did with her Twilight story to make it original so as she could publish it legally :D https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5589464/1/Dreamland

:D

I also recently wrote a short book for 4-5 year olds - a collection of short stories about a princess and a pauper girl for example, stuff like that and I sent it to several dozen publishing houses.

Congratulations!

I am also attempting to write a kids book. someone more along the lines of David Walliams Worst Worst Children. Some short stories of silly behaviour and crazy tales where I get to exaggerate a situation for comical effect. Not sure I will ever complete it but will continue plugging away none the less
