Blu is right. Most manuscripts are rejected out of hand because the grammar, punctuation, and/or spelling are missing.

Keep in mind children's literature (pre-10 audiences) doesn't make much money unless you pull off Captain Underpants.

It's not that you're stupid. I think it's a good idea. But realistically, publishers are more likely to reject your script if it's of a lesser quality in terms of spelling and grammar.

But what the hey. Go for it if you want.

I think it's best not to search for approval from strangers online. And I think you need to learn to punctuate before you try to write a book, much less a sentence.
   

  Couldn't have said it better myself.


  Wow a couple of cunts right here.


 

 So you think someone who uses paragraph sentences should be teaching children how to read?  

 I don't have a problem with him writing a book. I do have a problem with someone who doesn't use grammar rules teaching my kids their ABCs and so forth.


It's called realism. And it's nothing they wouldn't have been told by editors they submitted their book to.


well like i said it was just a dream i used to teach kids how to read and it was a good feeing i just like to help you know it makes me feel better
