So glad to have such a great illustration team
I’ve observed that the relationship between the translator, Aija and me has definitely blossomed and we’re very much a team. It is incredible to be working with such great gals! I even mentioned to Aija the possibility of meeting her one day, when I’m in Europe, however Aija keeps her business relationships strictly business, so “no-go” at this point. But that’s okay – this has still been a tremendous experience.
On another note, I am so looking forward to our trip in May to Big Sur, Northern California and Oregon. I just bought my husband a van as a gift. I will pop my Sprint card in my laptop and work away while he drives. Hope he doesn’t mind!
I love having creative control
I have to say, it’s just so wonderful to be working with an illustrator that allows me the creative control that I desire for my story. Between the designs, colors, positioning, shapes, etc., it is definitely a treat to be working with so much freedom.
Nearly completed on the characters
Well we’ve been going back and forth quite a bit with various tweaks and changes, but we’re definitely making progress – very exciting indeed! And to think, this is all being done through a computer – haven’t ever spoken on the phone still!
Still visiting my father in Seattle on and off as he is quite ill. That’s the only sad news in my life.
