Doot-dee-doo... Here I am, writing a blog entry... Gee, I've never done this before. This is new. I think I've drafted a dozen of these in my head, but never actually WROTE one... Hmm. Looking around, here... Uhh... Woah. I'm surrounded by writers! I'm not a writer!
It's okay. Stay calm. I'm sure they're a really nice set. My palms are getting sweaty, now. I feel a little like I wore my sweats and a head-scarf to a cocktail party. Gah! Poor use of simile! (This is nothing like a cocktail party!) I just blew my cover! Uhhh....Panic! Quick! Do something to save face! I know! When in doubt, do what you know how to do: post a cute picture!
There. Now can I stay on board?
Hi, my name is Rachel. I'm an illustrator-in-hibernation through the long (but lovely) winter of early motherhood. My muse wakes me up for the occasional free-lance job, but mostly I spend my days being a very contented mother to 4 active and brilliant children. I do also write (a little) and would like to publish a few of my own children's books someday, and who knows, maybe even a novel. And yes, this is my first blog, and yes, I am wearing sweats.
Not only can you stay on-board, I think I'll use that cartoon on the title banner...
ReplyDeleteGreat illustration and it's fun to read a blog by another writer/illustrator!
ReplyDeleteThat pirate parrot rocks! In fact, it kinda looks like he is rockin'. Welcome Rachel! I have a special place in my heart for the artiste's (see my Art Appreciation Week), and can't wait to see what else you have stashed up your pen, er, quill.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't get the parrot to work with the title, but I've immortalized it on the sidebar. Thanks, Rachel!
ReplyDeleteHello, Rachel! Love the pic. Love the blog entry. *Grin*
