Blog Schedule

I post on Monday with an occasional random blog thrown in for good measure. I do my best to answer all comments via email and visit around on the days I post.

Break Time

It's Novemeber (duh!) It's Nano (duh again!) The holidays are approaching (triple duh!)

No, I'm not doing Nano, but I am taking a novel writing course (for children) through The Institute of Children's Literature. The novel I'm working on for the course is complicated and special and will take quite a bit of time and concentration.

Anansi says, "HI!"
I'm also tweaking my collection of Anansi stories that will be self-published, and am waiting for further illustrations which won't be completed until the end of this month. In the meantime you can read an interview with the Caribbean Trickster HERE.

If that isn't enough, there are two other books I want to get whipped into shape and have ready to publish once I get my spider out into the world.

AND, there are more Anansi stories to be translated and retold.

So, I'm going to be one busy girl for a while and need time away from the wonderful distraction that is the blogging world.

I'm aiming to back in December.

Until then, have fun and be kind to one another.

  7. What an awesome, exciting time for you, Bish. Best wishes for all your projects to come together smoothly. By the way, tomorrow I'm announcing the winners of my book, Curse of the Double Digits. I guess you've been on a winning streak because you won an eBook! I'll send you the info! Enjoy your time away from blogging.
