This is my journey in creating concepts, writing, illustrating, finding a literary agent, and becoming a published children's book author and illustrator for the picture book genre.

writer's block

Sometimes it gets the best of us. It is like walking into a wall and not being able to find a way around it. Oh writer's block, I would rather call you creativity block. My artwork is falling flat. Time to make a plan. As the New Year approaches, goals for this hopeful writer shall also be set. I hope to create a web site or extend this blog. I would like to create etiquette vignette stories about the adventures of Bug and Andy for you to read and share. I would also like to complete my other story about Mean Mister Lou and the once township of Alamaroo. Finally, I would like to also write short stories about Abernathy, the Soch Witch. Yes, New Year.  Bring it, please! I am still aspiring and my dreams are big.

Be the example.

Memes are little stories in themselves. This is the season where "please" and "thank you" matter so much. As we give and receive, children have a great opportunity to understand the impact these words can have on a person. Even nice words are presents that can make a heart fill with joy. Let's share that joy and set a great example to our children by remembering and using these words as the holiday season continues.
