nice reviews

Sometimes I forget. I forget that people actually have nice things to say and that they "get it". You know, get what I was trying to accomplish. I try not to read too many reviews, because despite all the good stuff, once in awhile someone will post something fairly insensitive. Mean, even. They don't really understand what we've gone through to sell a book idea, make the book or even what's going on in our personal lives at the time we are actually working on the books. Honestly, we are all truly trying to make a product someone will love. So when I stumble upon a good review, it really makes my day. Thank you "Lisa Reviews"! Um, no relation to me, I swear.

While in the midst of the project I had an absolute explosion of ideas for some of my own personal works. Can't wait get my hands on my sketch pad...
