Well, there it is. Page 20 of my new children’s book about a cute little wizard who is just looking for a friend. The thing is… and this ‘thing’ is mostly just because I like to try to add at least a few ‘things’ to my posts each week… but when I say 6 hours of work on these two little pictures…

…just to turn them into one page of a children’s story, that isn’t the whole story. I mean, there is the time it took me to draw and color the original comic book back when I was a teenager. And I still need to add all the text to these pages. And bear in mind that I am at least going to try to compile, format, and send the whole finished book to the publisher without too much help from my older daughter… who usually does all that for me… and she doesn’t even think I am smart enough to send even a novel with just text, let alone one with a bunch of pictures that all have to be aligned and saved in the correct format and so on…  and she does live all the way in Arizona… so she can’t just walk me through it… and I am a computer moron… so… uh… yeah.

I can’t tell if anybody is enjoying this peek behind the scenes of a book being created. My stats are low, but we all know there are fluctuations. I am tempted to ask if this is boring you, or if you want less details… or more details… or whatever… because this is supposed to be an interactive blog… but, that being said, we all know that I am just going to go right along doing whatever the crack squirrels tell me to do…
