Er -- Almost Forgot

Today, I’m taking part in a “blog hop” and I almost completely forgot.  Yup – I’m just that good.  In my defense, I am planning to be at the hospital all day with my mother tomorrow, and we are leaving for vacation on Thursday, but still…

I’ve written everything from as-of-yet unpublished picture books, to published Middle Grade, Young Adult, a short story collection (with my son) and soon to be released Adult nonfiction poetry.  Parts of most of these works have been shared on my blog.  I also design and make jewelry, draw and paint, and do calligraphy.  Maybe I SHOULD use my blog more. 

Why I’m different:

Hmmm.  When I first started my blog, I posted random thoughts and some examples of my writing – probably pretty ordinary.  I updated the blog maybe once a week.  Later, I added a second blog for book reviews.  I would re-post the book reviews, so my blog might get updated two or three times a week.  Now I’m updating my blog five or six times or even more times a day.  Why?  Because I still do the first two things, but I’ve added my son’s stories as well. 

My son, now, is five-and-a-half.  He’s been telling stories for a little over a year and a half.  At the beginning of the year, a book was published containing a collection of over 1000 of his stories.  I illustrated every single one of the first years’ stories, and those illustrations can be found on this blog.  This year, I’m still sharing the stories, but only illustrating a few. 

A "Thomas" story I illustrated today.
