Message:: [QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 8451650, member: 25270"]The hard thing with children's books is you need to have illustrations, and I'm not skilled at that so I had to hire someone. That accounted for well over half of the cost and basically ensures it won't be profitable. Still, it's really cool to know that I made something like that and I really like finished product, it's neat to hear stories about how it's a kid's favorite book or motivated them to start a garden (it's about gardening), and reading it to my son for the first time was priceless. It was a lot of work and I had to learn a lot, but I'd do the same thing again because I believed in the product and thought it was worth it. I'm not so sure I'd do a second book, but if I had an idea that I thought demanded to be made then I probably would. For everyone who actually writes and publishes a book there's 25 people who say they had a great idea but never did anything with it. Congrats for following through and going through all the work. You're an author now and no one can take that away from you.[/QUOTE]
