Finding Penny Olive's authentic voice....

Something that I am really struggling with is writing the manuscript for the book. It's difficult (even though I have an 7 year old) to write the story from a child's perspective with child language. Professor Meloney helped me concentrate on the parts of the story that are working and the parts that need reworking.

This week I am rewriting the manuscript and hoping to get three page illustrations completed by Friday. Also reached out to the PA German Heritage Center to vend their Christmas on the Farm show with my printed Penny Olive books :)
