My son, the author
Apr. 1st, 2007 04:41 pmD. is bouncing with excitement, having just written and illustrated the first two pages of a "chapter book" entitled, The Knight's Glory. Another 50 pages are in the works.
(yay!)
Update. He's now hard at work on page 3. The first page of Chapter 1 was lavishly illustrated, and subsequent pages are mostly text, with a scroll design on either side.
Another Update. I showed him War and Peace and told him about the author writing it all out by hand, then marking it all up, and his wife writing out clean copies again and again as he changed things. Now he's singing, "Peace and war. War and peace. Peace and war. War and peace."
