Okay, it's time to get back to work and I'm thrilled to be writing that I'm busy! Busy with illustration work.
Recently, I told you about the "Ladybug Mag" assignment. My sketch has been approved and I'll be finishing it with felt. The only change request was to make the flowers in the grass larger. yay!
I turned in my article about blogging this week and the editor was happy with it. Oh man, what a challenge. The editor had asked for it to be 2500 words. Yikes. I am amazed at my writing buddies who actually write this amount daily! I want to thank you all again for the time you took answering my questions about your own blogging experiences. It helped so much.
Right before Christmas I received an assignment for a 'pull out' book for an educational publisher where I had to draw bobcats. I turned in the sketches yesterday and just waiting now for the okay to go to finish. But I must have done something right because they've assigned me with another short story and the sketches are due on monday. This one will be about a duck playing in a mud puddle, how fun is that!
These will be finished in black ink line.
Yes, I am a very happy lady. Tired but happy. The kids and hubby have been very understanding about the house being in disarray for the past several days. Actually,I think they love it because I haven't had time to pester anyone about picking up behind themselves. I think "deadline mommy" is much more fun to live with than "anal mommy"!
YAY for "deadline mommy" she deserves it all!!!
