Right, would you prefer to have a glass that is half full or a glass that is half empty? Well, let me present the glass, and you can decide. During the last week I have finished the first draft of chapter 6 of Alice’s Adventures at the Poles. The story is planned to be written in 12 chapters. So this means that it is now half finished! However . . . – I have not drawn any more illustrations for the story yet. I need at least twenty four illustrations for the first six chapters, and at the moment I only have twenty one. Well, let’s look at the half full glass. I think that there’s maybe half a dozen clear opportunities for illustrations in what I’ve written, so I’m not worried.
The way things work out it’s taking a good three weeks to
make a chapter anyway. So it isn’t that unusual for me to do the illustrations
only after I’ve written it. But it’s been hard this weekend as well. It’s the
time of year when, if I am going to draw my own Christmas Cards, then I need to
crack on with it, and that’s what I’ve been doing. I think I’m about halfway
there, having completed 8 this weekend.
