Yes it's finally finished, or at least the first cut is. I will be going back to this and deciding (after getting the experts - my children - to give their opinion of of the story) whether it is better to keep it as it is (a short story of around 2.5K words) or expand it into a young reader novel (which would be roughly 10K words). Not having to submit to a publisher I'm free to do it however I want to, but it depends what my kids feel about it. Then it's a case of getting the illustrations done and fixing up the formatting ready for publication - firstly as an ebook and then a paperback.
Although this is kind of a follow up to That's Not Fair!, it is not going to be in the same style - I'm not going for a young children's picture book this time, more an early reader story. It came about because as soon as we had physical copies of That's Not Fair! in the house, my younger daughter wanted her own story too :-)
