With today’s earlier post, I can proudly say I have officially completed my very first Inktober Challenge! I am both excited and artistically exhausted lol. I am a writer first, illustrator second, so it’ll be nice to spend November (NanoWrimo) working on my novel and collection(s) of short stories. I can’t completely stop illustrating, of course, as since my forthcoming book My Year Book Nightmare is due out this January, but I can dial it down a notch.
I will also be taking a break from my website and ALL social media. They’ll continue to be active, I just won’t be monitoring or adding to them. This will of course drastically hinder my website traffic, but social media is a drag and with my tenth children’s book coming soon, I’m ready to begin the next stage of my adult books without having to sacrifice more family time during the holiday season.
If all goes accordingly, come January, you should see a newly designed website with some other surprises… 😀
Now, back to Inktober! I’d like to offer a special thank you to a handful of people who showed much needed encouragement and support throughout the month. I’m talking to you Reesey, Mom and Mom, Kat over at The Lily Cafe, Tilly Collins at 40 ‘fore Forty, Jen at Jenacidebybibliophile, Rude Bird – Sketchbook, Phoebe at PMuInk, and Cynthia Gutzwller. Your reoccurring interest keep me going. Thank you!
Congratulations for completing the month! I’ve really enjoyed your artwork, so I’m sad October is over, but I imagine it must have been quite a challenge. Still, it’s very impressive!
