Hello again my dears! I thought I’d do something new and make Sunday a day for sharing my (extremely basic) doodles – and for you to share yours if you feel so inclined! Today is Mother’s Day in New Zealand, and my mum and I spent the afternoon dabbling in watercolour paints, trying to be artists. “Trying” is the key word here – the reality of the situation was that I somehow failed to make purple by mixing blue and red. I mixed and mixed and mixed and ended up with a sludgy, brown slop. I legitimately can’t even manage basic primary colour mixing. A four-year-old would have done a better job.
ANYWAY, you know how the old saying goes… “when life hands you sludgy, muddy, several-lightyears-away-from-purple slop, make it into hair”, so I did. I took my brown mess and shoved it on top of this poor child’s head. She seems okay with it though so I don’t feel too guilty. The child in question is the star of my theoretical children’s book. Don’t worry, I am NOT planning to illustrate it myself… this doodle was just a brainstorm. You can quit panicking now. I can’t tell you her name, but I’ll tell you her initials are LDWJ… ooooh… leave your guesses below and I’ll give you a bajillion dollars and a batch of cupcakes if you get it right. Cross my heart.
This little girl appeared fully formed in a dream one night, and when I woke up I immediately knew I would write a story about her. Being the procrastination extraordinaire that I am, it has taken me approximately five years to write three sentences. At my current rate of progress I predict it will be ready for release sometime around the middle of 2093 – get excited guys!
Well gee whiz, this is a ridiculously long ramble for a ridiculously basic picture. You have the patience of a saint if you’ve read this far. If anyone has any amazing name suggestions for LDWJ’s cat sidekick, I’d love to hear them! If I pick your suggestion and you’re still alive in 2093 I’ll dedicate the book to you.
All my love and thanks for reading my Sunday night waffling,

She looks cute, and to me perfect for a children’s book. You could do your own illustration!

Aww, thank you! Haha well if you don’t mind waiting about fifty years for me to finish it, I’ll send you a signed copy 😛

Fifty years is a long time, but I guess I can wait. 🙂
