A Book

[junetta]

I've been asked to write a childrens' book based on the blog that I enter on the life of my dog, Clio. No money up front or anything and they have offered to illustrate it and publish. I'm gobsmacked but can I write anything? Her blog is easy but now my mind is a blank!

[flashy]

writers block hey (no i've never wrote a book) but i'm good at writing other stuff

if you write a blog for her then why not take some ideas from the blog? i take it the book will be fictional

you could maybe....

start from when she was a puppy
the adventures she's had finding out about the world
the places she's been to
highs and lows
people the dog may have met on her journey through life
the person in her life she likes the most
her favourite things
the things she doesnt like
her fear of getting caught by the dog warden (lol)

just jot a few things down and eventually they will all come together

There are quite a few books on the market junetta which give great tips on starting writting books, i'm sure you can pick them up on Ebay, might be worth a punt
