Action defeats inaction. Getting the ideas out of your head and onto the paper is the most treacherous of journeys. It is littered with landmines of self-doubt, and windmills of worry that fan the fearful flames of feeling completely inept. The sweat, backache and toil of emptying your soul into something to be publicly trod upon is truly exhausting.
I underestimated how skin and brain crawlingly difficult it would be to write, illustrate and get a book into production in time for a seasonal Christmas release. (What the hell was I thinking?)
But I also realize that trying to creatively produce something special, without any of those difficulties and hurdles likely means that you are not doing it right.
And I am going to do this right!
Even if it means that I have to drink all of the gin.
Now back to my hourly fight to remove Shizzle the cat, from lounging all over my workstation.
Cats really hate productivity.

I knew you were going to write a book after you asked for a reading list… so glad that you did it.
So true! except that my reading challenge has stalled this last month on account of this book project, but I will get back to it soon enough! 🙂
