Ah yes, the holidays are here. And with them comes shopping, chaos, hustle and bustle, cleaning, cooking, visiting, and every other kind of "ing", just not painting! That's right, I'm in a slump again. But I think the slump has more to do with my direction rather than not being motivated. I keep thinking I'm just not motivated but in the meantime I keep writing, have finished another book and started another children's story that is mostly complete. Where I need to find my motivation, though, is for illustration. I have a pretty thorough book on illustrating children's picture books and I really need to give it a good look-through and actually read some of it. This is where I will be putting a lot of my time and energy in 2014. I have several books that are complete and with just a little fine tuning, they will be ready for the printers. I'm also going to spend time building my publishing website (with a lot of help from my Internet-Architect husband, Jim). So, this will be an interesting addition to my roster of qualifications - I hope I can come up with the quality of illustrations that I believe my stories deserve!
