Friday, August 28th
As I tentatively attempted to begin this blog, I realized how non-techy I am. But, I have begun and that is always the hardest part. I won't write Hobbes Goes to South America here, but write about writing the book. I cannot compose well on the computer. I have to see my handwriting and the best handwriting I do is done with a very fine tipped pen on blank paper. Yesterday I bought the paper and pens so now---no excuses. Thinking back to my favorite books from childhood helps. Babar was one, Madeline another--"In an old house in Paris that was covered with vines. . . ." First lines are very important, so the beginning step is to create the first line for Hobbes, which is my goal for today.

Hi Alex: I would welcome your ideas and suggestions. Also--Hobbes would love to "talk" with you. The more I talk in Hobbes voice, the better I will write. So, just ask Hobbes any question.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite children's book opening line is "Once upon a time there were four little rabbits." That seems to have gone out of style.
