TIAM was wonderful this past Saturday, even with the full out blizzard conditions in Toronto.  I met so many wonderful people, and got more validation that my book is a great piece of work.  It makes me feel all fuzzy inside, and makes all those months of worry and stress worthwhile. 

Now that most of the work I have to do for the book is over (I just need to get my website updated--that project is a mountain that keeps on growing), I'm thinking about what I would like to do next.

I really want to get back to my novel.  For those of you who do not know this, I have been writing a novel since I was 16.  It grew out of a bunch of comics I created as I was reading "Lord of the Rings" (14 at the time), and then I wrote a ~30 page short story for my Grade 11 English class, which I have later turned into a 600 page fantasy novel.  I need to figure out a style of illustration, and for the first time I'm considering doing full out digital work.  The key is to make it look traditional as much as possible. I've got myself a Procreate app for my iPad, and now I'm working on finding a stylus, because I was never comfortable finger painting--feels very weird.  Or maybe it would be better to stay traditional.  In the end I like having a physical painting I can hang on a wall, or sell to raise money for charity...

I also want to get back into portraiture.  I miss painting people.

I also have this fundraising idea for "I'm a Girl" organization.  (Has to do with princesses :-D.)

And I would like to write and illustrate either "Just Dance!" (picture book about a little girl that loves dancing and uses it to solve problems) or "I want a dog!" (a story about a little girl who has "everything", but all she wants is a dog).

I have many more ideas, but these are pressing against my mind demanding to be born.

That's about it for now.

WTYL!
