The rough plan in my mind starts with

1. Gathering my thoughts through audio notes. I'mu using a tool I love called AudioPen to transcribe these notes roughly and clean the transcript automatically. Which then makes is it very easy to edit the text by hand.

2. The second step is synthesis. Collecting all these life principles and condensing them into a small number, maybe 10 or 15. Something easy to remember. At the time of writing, I'm first in the very first step where I'm collecting the principles, and there will surely be more than 10.

3. The third step is storytelling. Reframing these principles into children's book stories with visual metaphors, proverbs, and tiny tales. I want my soon to be 5-year old to be able to enjoy the lessons in a way that feel natural for his age. So there might be lots of dinosaurs and super heroes in the end.

What you're seeing now is just the first part: audio notes transcribed into rough thoughts. This plan will evolve as the process unfolds.

I've already created a few children book for my nieces, god son or son. So now I'm excited to make a series that is not just sweetly emotional for the birth of a kid, but that also teaches something.
