I'd make up elaborate stories about the characters and places I illustrated to help find the little details that really made a picture work for me. And then one day I just decided to try my hand at writing. I already enjoy storytelling, so why not give it a try. And if in the end I end up with something good, I can even illustrate my own cover.
While I'm at it I thought I'd put my thoughts out [here] as I learn the process. I hope that readers find this blog interesting at the very least, and maybe occasionally helpful in their own journey's.
This blog to be irregularly updated as things float across my mind.
