The moon is called full in its roundiest phase.

My book, A Rather Round Alphabet, is now available on Amazon as a Kindle ebook!

A Rather Round Airport?

This could be a good idea for a "What If" picture book about the future. What if an airport was round? What if you could vacation on the moon? What if...what if...what if!

Strange, but not too strange.

Some fairy tales may be 6000 years old! This is an interesting article about ancient fairy tales and science helping us to understand story.

Kickball is a nice recess break from the books

Still making modifications to the alphabet book. I hope to have a final version by the weekend.

Jawbreaker seems a poor name for a treat.

So the plan was to finish up the Rather Round Alphabet book at the end of January, slap it together as an ebook, and send it off into the wild to fend for itself while I moved on to February's writing project.

That was a naive plan.

The writing and illustrations are done for the RRA, however, I am now planning on spending the month of February teaching myself how to create an ebook that works basically the way I imagined, and then actually creating said ebook. At that point I hope to distribute it to a number of people to get their constructive input so I can make any changes and finish it up at the end of the month.

I call that my not-as-naive-but-probably-still-relatively-naive plan. I'll let you know how it progresses.

Life is good, but pie am delicious!

I was inspired to make a little Gonk fan art after reading the Glorkian Warrior series of books by James Kochalka! Check them out if you haven't read them. Goofy, slapstick, funny, fun! I'd give them each five-pie ratings, but I ate all the pies!

On expedition

• While thinking upon becoming an author, I worked out that writing a book in which three of every four words were already written for me was quite likely the most expeditious path to completion, if not to genuine success. This is an outtake from my current work in progress. #alphabetbook #jellybeans
