Lilla here. Today I’m sharing Part 2 of my FREE three-part #MATSprep warm up assignment ahead of My Kid Book Pitch, which starts Monday, October 24th. If you’ve ever wanted to write your very own children’s picture book, you won’t want to miss it. In this #MATSprep warm up exercise, I’ve been showing you how easy and enjoyable writing your own story can be. We’ve been having a bit of fun taking the terrible sentence that I wrote and using the poor thing as an example of how to improve your own writing.   Cami, a young girl, liked to draw big, grey anteaters with long snouts like the ones she saw yesterday at the zoo. She was going to carefully show them to her class next Monday. Suddenly, a dog chased her! Yesterday, we removed the visual words and the first sentence became this: Cami liked to draw anteaters.

Lilla here. In just a few weeks, on Monday, October 24th, I’ll be teaching my children’s picture book writing course, My Kid Book Pitch. I absolutely love teaching this course because I love helping creative people like you to thrive, and I love helping you to reach into your magical imagination and pull out all the stories I know you have whirling around in there. I know what you’re thinking: “But Lilla, I’m not a writer!”. I think you are, but you just don’t know it yet. That’s why I do writing retreats with my artists and artist/authors. I believe in artists’ minds and their ability to make books. (They do so well that they get book deals and I’m going to share with you what I teach them!) If you’re an artist, you may think that you can’t write a story like a ‘real’ author. You might think you
