Hello and welcome back! It’s been a conundrum: when
deadlines loom (or have gone screaming past), do I take the time to send out my
blog, knowing that the people reading the blog could very well be the folks I
owe illustrations? Would they think, “why are you wasting time and not sending
me my art?” or, as a writer/illustrator, is it part of my job to keep up with
the blog? Well, just today Melinda, my wonderful art director at Sleeping Bear
Press, solved that problem by calling me to say, “stop sending Ozzie
illustrations! We’re done for now! Get going on that other thing!” That “other
thing” is an early reader book that I didn’t write, but I’m guessing that can
wait ‘til tomorrow. And, let’s be clear right here: I am SO not complaining about
being busy writing and illustrating children’s books.
So, on with the blog!
Yay! Finally u r blogging again. It's gonna be a good new year. Richard.
