Fruitfly 0 #1 September 2, 2010 Hi everybody, I'm thinking of writing a childrens book about skydiving for the wee ones, like kids under age 6. What do you think? If you have little ones, or a nephew or niece, would you buy it to show what mommy or daddy or aunt/uncle is doing? I already have an awesome illustrator. Now I need the plot. Possible title: Peter and Pam and the Perfectly Good Airplane. LOL. OK, yeah, I did just make that up right now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am a jumper, my wife is a writer....so you can imagine that skydiving makes it into a few of her books... for small kids.... http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/books/Cheetah-Wendy-A-Lewis/9781551434650-item.html?ref=Search+Books%3a+%27Wendy+Lewis%27 for "young adults" (13 years old maybe)... http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/books/Freefall-Wendy-A-Lewis-Wendy-A-Lewis/9781554700134-item.html?ref=Search+Books%3a+%27Wendy+A.+Lewis%27 Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roxxx 0 #5 September 3, 2010 Peter and Pam get in a Jam and are unsure of their plan... 'shrug' It was just to be a skydive, man. When on the gound, they looked all around but did not mutter a sound... and, now they found, they could not see the ground to which they were bound. It was information, they did need, so very much indeed... but falling to fast, and sure it would be their last, they soon fell past the altitude blast. The cypres had saved them, and the skydivers forgave them... But no one would lay them, because the experience did jade them... Each moment applies to the next and those with a hex are total rejects. So, know your plan before it fucks you man and remember there are some, who should only float on a fan. The wind tunnel, in Florida, man. A Rox Original, enjoy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monkycndo 0 #6 September 3, 2010 Make sure you show how the planes are held together by duct tape, how bad the farts smell on the way to altitude, and how kewl the wingsuiters are. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roxxx 0 #13 September 29, 2010 "Afraid" Afraid to go home I feel all alone The me that they’ve known Has long since flown… So, this weekend, I fall To a place with a call Of the heavens like Fall West Virginia, I’ll be And I hope they don’t see Way deep inside me Like them, I am not The fringe hit the spot Fuck it, shrug it, I’m doing a shot… By, Roxxx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joellercoaster 6 #14 September 30, 2010 Not exactly what we're talking about, but I think [url=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0689716605/httpwwwvintag-20]What Good Luck, What Bad Luck[/url] and Tintin are my earliest memories of being aware of parachutes.
