Hello Sasha.
Thank you so much for asking me and I would love to read and review your book. It sounds as a really interesting subject which I also did not hear about before. Please tell me how you were thinking of doing it, is your book on Amazon?
Kind regards Helene.

The story is about two different animals that come to life in the same tree and they visit and befriend the other animals who are living around them.
As a teacher reading with beginner readers, I wanted to create a book series in 4 levels that build up the sentences and also give examples on how we describe things when we use sentences and build up with tenses.
Besides this, I am a nature lover and teacher and want to create a book where the animals dont have human behaivior, but imagine what animals would talk about and their different abilities.

I get inspired to write when I feel something has not been said and it might not be directed at any person, but I share my words so others can find support as I have found support in the words of others all my life.
When we as human beings are writing it is like participating in the entire humanity's ongoing conversation and collective knowledge. Which it is an honour to be a part of.

I'm working on the illustrations to a children's book series for beginner readers. It is about a squirrel and a bird who are born in the same tree and they become friends.

Don't criticize the food before it is done.
Writing is a process like anything else, as ex. cooking. The first text we place on the paper is like raw meat and we have to work with it to make it tastier and find the other ingredients. So first just write it all down in any order, and then keep working on your text and make your own steps of your process, we all work in our own pace and manner. Ex. 1: Raw Text - 2: Chapters - 3: Subtitles - 4: Cut/Paste/Ad text - 5: Sentences - 6: Punctuation 7: Layout... aso.
Editing your text is like being a detective looking for your mistakes. Print it and read it out loud and correct it as many times it needs, we all make 1000 of small mistakes in a long text and we just work with it until it feel right and there's nothing more to add or correct.

It is a great way of conveying knowledge and always learning our languages deeper is a wonderful thing to increase our common understanding.

I don't have deadlines in my work, so I never experienced writer's block. I get ideas and develop them over time in my head and make notes of them to make space in my head for other ideas to develop.
But if I need to do any bigger project I always find it useful to split it up into as small pieces I can, make a list and focus only at one small piece at the time until it's done.
Also, I try to do other things around the task that I have some kind of procrastination towards, and if we talk about text, then it could be editing the paragraphs, finding great fonts, looking at illustrations, editing the titles and punctuation.
Another idea could also be to go back to the idea that started the writing project, the core motive and start researching that and other publications or just blog articles on this to get inspired.
Finally, if it is for a book that is planned to be published, then it could be a great idea to start researching keywords and niches to promote the book to. Searching on Twitter and other SoMe or Google alert on what people are having issues with ex. according to the text topic.

I found myself armed with swords in a dark room filled with monsters like in a dream. I fought my way forward and sliced all the beasts into thousands of pieces until someone turned on the light and I realised that I wasn't dreaming...

Narnia, I would like to chill out with Aslan and see the land.
