Word of the Day: Sinecure.
Headed back to work this morning, after three days of back rest. The morning has been uneventful. We had two school tours come through so I read my favorite children's book to them "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus" by Mo Willems. The illustrations and story are perfect for kids. They love it.
Pictures should compliment the text, not distract. I often think that illustrators have a hard job, trying not to overpower the story.
I've been working on writing more, after some time of not writing. Work was really busy and I have no doubt that it will continue, maybe I can just manage my time a bit better, making writing a higher priority. Should be a spoken word coming up. Definitely one at Moonbean's. I just need to call them up and schedule.
All of you waiting for books: just a little more time. Money is tight, but books will go out in the next week. It will happen.

Willems writes and illustrates his own books, so the whole writer/illustrator schism is probably less daunting.
Or maybe not? I've never written (or illustrated) a children's book.
I think if I did I would be terrified of one suffering for the other.
