Back to School

Since I don't have kids, and my puppies have shown no interest in obedience school, you'd think that back-to-school time wouldn't really affect me much.

Wrong.

Somehow, I never really got over the school/summer schedule. Every year as summer winds down, I start looking back over the year and evaluating—what I've done, what I haven't done. I start making plans and goals just as normal people do on January 1st.

September just feels like the new year to me.

This year, my goals will focus on telling stories. Write more, simplify illustrations, develop characters, and submit work regularly.

Happy "new year" everyone. I think I may go buy a new pencil case or something. :-)
