I got interviewed by the lovely KidLit Artists blog!

...which, let's be honest, was really neat. Have you seen the artists on there? They are soooooo talented. And I am now a member of the kidlit club. Yippee!!! Anyhow, I was asked to share my experience  as a Mentorship Winner. If you are interested, you can click here to go to the post. But if you would like a summary, let me just say it was a brilliant experience. It was so validating to be among the talented few who were awarded the SCBWI LA Mentorship. And I feel like I am more confidently stepping towards my goals. Thanks so much to the mentors!! And thanks to you, friends, for supporting me. Life is so good. (Especially when it's sprinkled with chocolate.) And if you'll excuse me, I think I need to go and powder my octopus. ;)

Contrary to popular belief...

I always found it odd that mermaids live in the deep ocean, but could breath air. Yeah, I know, why am I even talking about this? Mostly because I'm a nerd. But it's a fun vocation :)

...and friends that are interested, my website is under construction and who knows when it will rise from the ashes. Patience. (I know I need it ;)

Getting your nails done underwater is tricky. But totally worth it.

Geeky

This piece that has been on the brain for at least a year and a half is amusing to me because everybody in hind-sight was an awkward pre-teen. And we all know that if we were to see Ariel in her pre-teen years she would be the most shunned adolescent because she was a huge human-nerd.

So there you have it.

Sorry about the color quality...Watercolor is really hard to scan, which is really urksome.
