A Real-Life Royalties Story
Traditional Publishing Is Dead
I like this post because it's a real-life example, numbers included, from an Everyday Joe Author. This is the kind of REAL information authors need nowadays. From each other. Every publishing model has its fit, but not every publishing model will be honest about what that is.

The Birth of a New Super Hero
Coming out in a few months, barring no major snafus, will be my first children's book/comic book series, tentatively called "I'm a Super Hero Now." I've had some sticker shock in terms of illustration costs, and that immediately led me to wish I had developed my basic artistic talents outside of the pen long ago.
I can see how there may be dozens of stories out there, sitting unpublished not for lack of quality or appeal, and not even because of costs to publish, but simply because of the costs to effectively illustrate and enhance the story, whatever that may be. I'd be interested to hear how others may have found ways to offset these costs without the book looking like it was drawn by my dog. Which actually might not be a bad idea.

The Root of All Fun :: Children's Books
I'd love to hear from folks who have written a children's book (not necessarily published). How did it come to your head and then on paper? One sitting, many? Was it inspired by a person or situation in your life personally?
What were some of the key elements in writing the book that you felt would be important to a child?
