A year or two back I decided to make a childrens book, useing nothing more then my airbrush, and a lot of time. I finally finished it last spring, and went about tying to sell it to a publishing company or to get an agent who could do the selling for me.
So far my luck has been abysmal. publishing houses don't want to work with you unless you have an agent and getting an agents attention is tough. At this point I would feel lucky to get a rejection letter/email to know someone has actually ever looked at it. But I know the agents and publishing houses are litterly flooded with requests all the time, and it does take time to weed through it. Uggg.
Now the plot was not hard to come up with and the characters i've been doodleing for as long as I could remember. But the main reasion to do this was my boys. They watched me almost every night for a year, patiently working on the paintings. The story was still good enought to keep my 11 year old interested but not too hard for much younger kids. Note; I put in tons of private jokes for adults, like training weels on kid robots, and the TV remote says "Waster TV"
I've looked into self publishing the book, but at this time don't have the finacal means to do so.
When they hit some garbage in the atmosphere, the ship crash lands. this is where they discover that compaired to humans they are only a few inches tall. and then go off to discover robots like themselves stripped of there wires and gears (a kids toy) and now fearing for their safety they go on a scavenger hunt for items to use in fixing their ship.
I'm not going to write the full plot here, but the story does end well and could be the basis of further adventures.
-Thanks
