GETTING READY TO DO SOME ILLUSTRATING - I HOPE

WRITING AND ARTWORK

HAVE DIFFERENT REQUIREMENTS

FOR ME

I DON'T KNOW WHY

When it comes to writing, I don’t really have any specific requirements.  I have, can, and do write anywhere and anytime under any conditions. 

I have also produced a couple of fun artwork pieces at odd times, but in general I’m a little OCD about my art-creating environment.  Not that I can always control for it, but when I have the option I’ll opt for zero distractions. 

THEREFORE: 

This weekend I’m going to spend as much time and energy as it takes to make my work-room as close as I can get it to the way I want it – because I’m WAY behind on getting illustrations tended to.

IF I can get my work environment set up right, I want to spend at least two, maybe three, days working on illustrations for the kid stories (aka youth fiction) that have been waiting impatiently for all this time. 

Now they’re starting to NAG me, so I’d best get to it.

It will be a much-needed change of pace for me.

Assuming I can get at least some of them done, I’ll get them into the stories. 

It’s a little intimidating; most of my art has been … well … not illustrations … but we shall see what we shall see!

If I never TRY, I'll never know, will I?
