I wrote an alphabet book last year and had begun to illustrate it too, then I realized that no children's book publisher is ever going to touch my work. I've tried it all before. Not only would I be fooling myself to think any self-respected publishing house would ever give a sick puppy like me the time of day, but I keep getting sidetracked with other projects. I was supposed to have this book finished by August, but I'm just now completing the illustration for the letter C. I'm thinking maybe if I commit to posting two letters at a time at least once every month I'll finish the alphabet a lot quicker than just planning to self publish and shop it around whenever it just happens to get finished. So, if anybody out there wants to see C is for Clown and D is for Dolls, then by all means hold me to this goal I've arbitrarily set for myself just minutes ago. Happy Fools' Day.

I can already tell this is going to be awesome. lol I can't wait to see it's completion. Seriously, I would totally buy this book and read it to my son. hahaha If you stay committed and do 2 letters a month, by the time you're done and it's ready he'll probably be close to a year old. DO IT. :]
ReplyDeleteThat's reason enough. See you on the 1st of next month. Thanks for the feedback!
DeleteI'm having a kid just so I can read it this book. Please finish the illustrations!!
ReplyDeleteHa! Thanks, but don't do it. As cool an experience and as precious as children are, your life will no longer be your own. but having said that, I wouldn't trade mine for anything, and I'm a very selfish person. So nevermind...have a kid.
Deletelol agreed. i wouldn't trade mine for anything, but don't do it until you've done everything you've ever wanted to do in life. haha
DeleteThey do take up lot's of time and demand all of you, but they're sooo cute. Sheesh.
DeleteI want to read this to me nieces who are afraid of absolutely everything (small dogs, knights on television, my beard). Uncle of the year.
ReplyDeleteHa! :)
