Writing

What I'm thinking after mulling on it since writing this is that I can probably design a simple arc in five short books for the very young, and then step into a more advanced YA arc that stands independent of those books for when the audience ages. Since I'm writing it for my kid, it should work for her. I don't feel any particular need to publish, though if they're good I'll see what happens, so i've got a lot of freedom to play with the format.

I agree about language. I'm trying to avoid going too simple on sentence structure and word choices, but I am working on using words that are more phonics-friendly. My daughter can read and understand complex sentence structures but has troubles reading words that don't sound out well. I'll see how she goes with it.
