A little out of the ordinary.
I used to be an artist. But I couldn't sell my work. I wasn't in fashion. So I stopped. For seven years... Then on New Year's Day I picked up a pencil... I think I'm going to be drawing more. Inspiration for this post came from Tom Baker and The Daily Prompt - Beyond the… Continue reading A little out of the ordinary.

Picture Books and writing for children
I have an idea for a picture book. Even the illustrations are starting to come about. But for some unknown reason I keep downgrading it. "It's only a picture book." "It's not literature, just writing for children." "I'm only writing for children." Why do I keep doing that? I love what I'm doing and it… Continue reading Picture Books and writing for children
