So today I’m keeping it brief, as the paints are calling.

Self Publishing - You don’t need to be a scatter brain, but it helps…


Concentrating on one thing at a time, well that is the ideal, oh the joy of sitting down and just drawing and colouring in… the illustrations for my book are my work in progress.


But I also need to check in on my website, pop into the online bookshop to check on orders, update my blog, writing about what I’m doing, creating content for my blog, so that I can get back to my work in progress – my illustrations!

So you see my brain gets as scattered as my multitasking.



So today I’m keeping it brief, as the paints are calling. Maybe I’ll fit in other tasks while the paint dries, or maybe, I’ll watch paint the dry, enjoying the magic as the watercolours flow a little and find their own way on the page.
