My KidLit Hopes and Dreams: A Post-Mortem
I woke up feeling like myself today for the first time since mid-November. My withdrawal symptoms from Cymbalta lasted roughly ten weeks. The past couple of months have been the most painful and terrifying of my entire life.
My 12 year old just finished this drawing for her grandpa in Oceanside, who loves sea turtles.
Annika is on the spectrum and has a very unique style of drawing: she imports a photo into Procreate on her iPad, then adds a blank layer on top of it. She then spends countless hours finding every minor shift of color she can, then draws a tiny splotch with it. Thousands of these little splotches come together to create a beautiful mosaic. It's all done on a single layer.
I have a hunch Grandpa's gonna love it.
For those who missed my post the other day, my Mark Spuddle account on Instagram was ha¢ked and I haven't had any luck getting it back. DO NOT REPLY TO ANY MESSAGES YOU GET FROM THAT ACCOUNT.
My main Instagram account @ markeology is still safe, thankfully.
Aargh!!! Someone just hacked my @ markspuddle account on Instagram and changed the password and the device it authenticates to. Anyone know how I can get it back?
Writer peeps:
Another super helpful mini-lesson (~7 minutes) from Katelyn Aronson. This one is about telling your story from unique POVs and perspectives, like having MCs that are anthropomorphic animals or food or even a house. Definitely worth a watch.
btw, please retweet if you see this cuz Twitter tends to throttle links to YouTube, so the only effective way to get lots of eyes on it is through RTs.
