Ok, I'm being a little rushed, but it is almost spring 2016, and that's exciting. Time flies. My last post was in 2013, as you may notice, and I haven't been posting to this blog, as my focus has been elsewhere. I am a new-ish mom with a 1-year old at home, in a new space and so much has happened!
My husband has pushed me to return to blogging and I have agreed since writing is a passion, and why not write on my own page. I have ideas to share and would love to connect with others more via this blog.
I am currently excited to be working with an illustrator in the GTA- the great Andre Allen- and we are striving to get an e-picture book entitled, "Eating I Forget" off the ground and running around online. It's still a baby, but we are training it well. The book has learned to roll over, crawl, and eat solid food so far, and we are trying to increase it's vocabulary from 'Da' to 'Hi', maybe 'Bye'. It's hard work and it still won't sleep through the night, but here's to more training!
Ok, funnies aside, in reality, we have the story written, and Andre is working very hard at completing the illustrations, digitally. It's a book about a young 5-year-old who wants to ignore her aunt after school, as she let's loose in the park. Through continuous questioning about her day, her aunt alienates and angers Keziah, our main character, who has to find her own way of communicating for things to work between them.
'Eating I Forget' is our puppy and we are excited. We are planning free download days, contests, and our launch party, to happen at an as-of-yet undisclosed time and place in the future. How's that for a teaser-stay tuned for something, at sometime, maybe and maybe you will like it!
Really, we are finding our focus and hope to share relevant information with you. My focus is not just to inform you about promotions related to our book via this blog, but moreover, I will be sharing great ideas I come up with and that I come across online related to children's education, reviews for picture books, anecdotes on my daily life with my crazy toddler, (who's first phrase learned at daycare was quite usefully, 'Go away,') recipes for healthy food that kids might-maybe-touch-with a ten-foot- pole, and other musings I hope you'll find interesting around raising a child and keeping them entertained.
Thanks for reading and keep posted! Have a super Thursday,
Victoria
