Prior to taking this course, the biggest challenge for Emmy was with ‘planning’ her stories before she sat down to write them. She found it frustrating to plan and as a result, it made the process of writing much more demanding than it needed to be. Many newbie children’s authors use an inefficient planning process when crafting a story, which then becomes an arduous task. This interferes with their natural creativity and motivation to write.

Fortunately, using some of the professional techniques she picked up from the ‘Write Storybooks For Children’ training modules, Emmy discovered that ‘planning’ was actually a fun part of the process when done correctly. Importantly, it made the story flow a lot easier.
