8/11 today…
Made me think of the time Zoe and I, back in August 2019, completed and published 8 books in 11 days. It was one of the best times I’ll probably ever spend with my teenager. She illustrated those books using her iPhone, a paint program and her finger as I fine-tuned the writing. We pulled many all nighters and I’d say ‘draw and send me the front cover, the back cover and the dedication page and I’ll make sundaes! 🤣Then later ‘give me the first three pages and I’ll make popcorn’ 🤣Once we started we found ourselves in the various stages of the process. It was like juggling during that time but we did it! I am so grateful to Zoe for stepping away from her comfort zone of what she really liked to draw at that time and doing this with me! I’m so proud to call her the illustrator of the last 10 of my books. I know I’ll cherish this time forever❤️
