WENDY’S WINDOW WRITING SERVICES
Last year the surreal and confining circumstances that have presented globally in 2020 although tiresome at times were no real hardship for me overall.I htink I did it easy compared to so many folks .
I found myself consigned to staying close to home in truely beautiful countryside the weather was glorious and the air was filled with butterflies going crazy ….. it was a chance for a good long rest ,the air and the creeks seemed to grow clearer and more pristine by the day , the tourists dropped off and the roads were empty in the little town I lived in
Then being consigned to staying at home as much as possible I really had no excuse to get diverted from my creative work and managed somehow to focus in on and complete the 20 illustrations needed for my self published new book ‘Creme and Caramel’s Big Adventure’ due for release at the end of September
which will be the first cab off the rank for my fledgling publishing venture Watch this space
Oh the excitement as I slotted my very first ISBN onto the back cover of my book and the satisfaction as I learnt all about about binding margins and slug and bleed which were the practical elements that would help turn my vision for the book into a practical manifestation of reality ….
and the amusement as I finally took my book files to the printer on one tiny little usb … nine months of creative work writing and painting and formatting and collaborating and angsting and the contributions of about 8 different people .I kept peering into the flute of the usb wondering where my 20 paintings could possibly be stored ? Was there some magical little art store room in there ? I wondered
Contemplating this gave me a renewed healthy respect for technology and what a magical little device the humble usb actually is.Even then the printer didnt even keep the usb but just downloaded the PDF files …..and gave me the usb back
And what about the wonderful people with amazing skills and talents actually from all over the world who seemed to come in like blessings from heaven at the right time to help me put the finishing touches needed so I could finally hurtle down the runway and over the finishing line as far as getting the book to the printer
Now I am waiting with bated breath to see my baby roll hot off the printing press
Here tis my first self published book . A 52 page story and picture book with 22 full colour illustratons . So pleased with it Ingram Spark did a great job with the printing .Suitable for children from aged 4-9 years .Although the little ones will not be able to read the text they will certainly enjoy having the story read to them and would be able to follow along with the story with 22 lovely brightly coloured illustrations .
