Other Interests
Too many! Trying to focus, focus, focus.
I thought I might just update my journal before my last entry hits its five year anniversary (I managed this, just). What can I say. Life happened, not to mention all sorts of political things happened, and I have been slowly dropping off the internet for the last several years. Still haven't published that picture book. And my website is almost as out of date as this DA account. Too much trolling on the internet these days, what can I say -- and no molah coming out of it. So I've decided to invest my energies somewhere else. Like, having a life. I'll let y'all know if and when something starts happening again.

So a friend of mine posts a link on Facebook to this children's book illustration contest in Belgium, hosted by Clavis - who appear to be quite a substantial publisher of children's picture books. So I send in my book about the hares, mainly just for the heck of it and because I needed a deadline. I'm one of the finalists. Now I'm scared. http://keycolours.com/
