The public recording of this journey starts today! What journey? The journey we began roughly 5 years ago. The journey to get my daughter prepared for an Illustration career. Now, Bernadette has joined us on the journey. There is a second intertwined goal to the journey: Get Bernadette out into the world to use her magic. The world needs her. So after 5 years of silence, we emerge!
What have we been doing during all this time? We have been writing. We have been editing, and then more writing. We have been drawing, then growing older, and then drawing some more.
But, let’s not dwell on the past, we will come back and visit it soon enough. Today, this website is live! It’s not quite finished, I will just have to finish it up as quickly as I can. It’s not like anyone out there will see it (yet)!
Why now? First, my daughter is 15 years old, and her drawing has really, really improved. She draws every single moment that she can, and just loves it. Second, I have spent 2019 working on my half, the writing. My goal: 12 stories that are A/A- quality. I think I have 7 that are at that level, and another 6 that are in the B range. So, while I am not quite there, 2019 is not done yet! I think I can get 5 of those 6 up to the A/A- level by the end of the year.
Between the growth in my daughters drawing, and my writing, I think we are ready to bring Bernadette alive! So, what are out next steps?
- Website
- Twitter account (not yet sure exactly how to use it ….)
- The stories: More reviews from others. I need people who aren’t friends, or related, and can give me honest opinions. (If you find this and want to proofread, contact us!)
