So, as you know, I am the “Organic Author,” and I write and illustrate all of my stories from within, unadulterated. I allow them to flow out of me naturally without any input from, or thought about, anyone or anything.
Well, this wasn’t the case when I first began publishing my works. I was more focused on the “rules of publishing,” and “what others would think,” than on my stories. The results were stories that I loved, transformed into stories that I myself did not want to read.
After my seventh publication, I couldn’t take it any longer. My next stories were written and illustrated exactly how I felt they should be, and I became a completely happy author. Then I decided, “You know what? I’m going to remove my first seven publications from the market, and start over from scratch!” And I did just that.
It’s been a few years since I made that decision, and all except one title is back… A Lesson Learned, The Lake in the Middle of the Forest. Poor A Lesson Learned. I have been trying to bring her back for some time, but I kept stopping it to create other stories. Well, not this time. A Lesson Learned will be, God willing, the only story that I work on until it is completely finished. I can’t wait for it to come back! It really is a great story, and the twist…
Well I will keep you all posted with updates and perhaps excerpts from the title. I am so glad that I illustrate better now as well. It makes the story that much better.
Happy Organic Creating!
Best.
