I have not given up on my dreams of writing and illustrating (or more likely writing and finding an illustrator for) a graphic novel about travel, good food and mutual affinity. Each day my characters’ voices get louder and louder in my head. They are pushing me to action. It will happen!
oh my. khara. this is so exciting! DO IT!!! is it too much to ask what your premise is and who your characters are, or do i have to wait to buy your book once it’s published?
You know I have been wrestling with this idea for years! But maybe this time will be different. I’m writing each day and actively looking for an illustrator. And if I can’t find an illustrator, I have a backup plan — I’ll just draw the crudest characters the world’s ever seen. I know at some point I’ll begin to post them online. I’m just waiting until I feel like the first chapter of the book is finished. I’ll need your feedback of course!!! So stay tuned.
Oh, btw: the book’s about traveling, coffee and friendship, my three favorite things.
i can’t wait to read what you come up with. btw, you would LOVE my friend chermelle and she would love you! she’s a writer, too, and something like this is right up her alley… when you come up, i’ll introduce you two!
ps: i will email you soon… i’m so excited about all your amazing travel plans!
