An announcement tied to the previous post:
This winter, I’m going to start creating my own
children’s books. It’ll be a return to my roots; as detailed in the essay here, I used to write and illustrate stories all the time as a kid.
(For me, this is the ultimate Throwback Thursday!) I have a ton of ideas
already, and many of them will be based on my own life and the lives of my
friends; you don’t often see a whole lot of people who look like us and do the
things we do represented in children’s books. At least, I didn’t. So get
excited! And if you know a thing or two about publishing picture books, let me
know!
(And on a somewhat related note: Who else is
completely against Pixar making Toy Story
4? Those movies were perfect as a trilogy.)
