Use simple structure, with limited vocabulary, but a trap that's easy to fall into is not to very sentence structure and to fall into patterns that are too rigid!.

My best advice is to just start writing, and see where your mind leads you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

We do not write in our "spare time!." That's the first misconception!. If you have spare time, clean out a closet or detail your car!.

Writing is about commitment to a project, not something you do because have nothing else on the calendar!.

The "simple" books are complex and involved a great deal of planning and forethought!. Just because they are intended for small children, doesn't mean they are the product of someone whose educational level simply exceeds the second grade!.!.

Before you set out to write anything, research the craft, find out how these books are born and then explore the process thoroughly!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

write a book about a kid named nero mcdougal!. he is a trouble maker!. he hit some girl in the face for looking at him wrong!. he likes to steal stuff in convinience stores!. he gets sent to boot camp by his parents and gets taught the true meaning of hard work!. he learns his lesson and from then on he's a perfect little boy, but still has an awful nameWww@QuestionHome@Com

Seriously, should we give up on the traditional values of the rough and tumble man, making his way with a chip on his shoulder, or wait for Obama to give us stuff, that is a lot easier as long as other people support me (I know they will)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
