Great news...Blurb was Really Fast with the "Production" end of making the books...so now we're just waiting on Shipping and Customs. Excited to get these into the hands of the fans! :)
OTHER UPDATES:
This week has been VERY Productive! I am going FULL-OUT on the illustrating of the next book, "The YAK with a HACK!" It was a slow, tedious grind at the start, (YES, Artists still have those days too,) but I'm very pleased with the week's progress. :) Five pages done...The creative juices are now fully flowing!
I've set some pretty stiff DEADLINES for myself, with the goal of getting at least 16 of the remaining 20 written books illustrated, within the next two years!
That requires completing 8 books per year! My First "Wordy Birdie" book took over two months to illustrate, (at that rate, 6 books/yr,) so it's a tight schedule.
Please wish me luck, and keep me in your prayers...I am very grateful for ALL of You who are supporting this endeavour! :)
DURING THIS JOURNEY, you can feel good about helping someone achieve a long-term "life" Vision, and you'll be witnesses to my prolonged, persistent drive to make it a "Reality."
NO, This particular Success won't be easy to attain, and, for me, "success" isn't defined solely by "Monetary return," (although I am averse to Starving LOL!)
But, when it's all DONE, I will have a "meaningful" LEGACY that will persevere long after I'm gone, and a Deep Satisfaction in "winning this battle," that nothing can take away!
LIFE'S MOST SATISFYING REWARDS usually don't come easily, or without hard work, but let this example encourage you, and be the catalyst for YOU chasing Your own dreams! It is NEVER Too Late to Start!
YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH ANY GOAL YOU PUT YOUR MIND TO, WITH CONSISTENT VISION, PLANNING, DISCIPLINE, AND EFFORT!
