So far genius hour is going well. The challenges that I've faced so far is that I had a hard time moving from researching to actually starting my book. I had a hard time with that because i didn't know what to write about. But I finally figured out what I want to write about. I'm going to write a story about a kid on Christmas. I wanted to write about Christmas because its my favorite holiday. I faced my challenges by reading other books and finally the idea came to my head.
There is a site that really helped me with different ideas that would make my book interesting and fun to read. http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/writing-childrens-books-for-dummies-cheat-sheet.html .I'm really looking forward to actually creating my book and drawing pictures and seeing what my end result would be. My next step is to get my supplies for my book and start creating my rough draft.
