Thank you, Dr. Seuss

My book continues to develop, but I am disappointed by how much time I have spent writing and re-writing it. There aren't that many words on 32 pages, for heaven's sake! Pacing is EVERYthing, though.

My daughter Sarah is getting into reading biographies. She checked one out last week that has made all the difference to me. It seems that the late, great Dr. Seuss spent up to a YEAR per book just getting the words and rhymes just right. I have gotten mine polished and paced over about 7 weeks and have already completed the studies, grids, etc. for all the illustrations. And, I have about 8-9 images completed.

I'm not feeling quite so slow and foolish now. Mind you, a good "humble-ing" does everyone good now and then.
