Writing.Com General Discussion

Over-explaining is something I’ve struggled with in my writing, so I’ve been especially mindful of it in this project. To keep things concise, I’m aiming for a maximum of 40 words per page. There will be plenty of pages that have less than this.

My target audience is brand-new kindergarteners. At this stage, we're focusing on name writing, letter recognition, and letter sounds. I’ve incorporated early language arts, math, art, and science concepts from the first two months into the outline.

The goal of the book is to serve as an additional resource that helps reinforce their learning.

One thing I am struggling with as well is the dialogue. Giving my characters their unique voice feels extremely clunky and insincere. I'm hoping that just comes with time though. It may take some refining.
