However, I believe things happen in life for a reason, so I scrolled down and read more posts. My kids LOVE Tomie dePaola, and they'd probably love your stuff too, if they had published works to see. <BR/>What I most wanted to say is that your kindergarten 'giraffe story' strcuk me. I can totally relate and wonder why so many well-intentioned people say the wrong things or squash dreams before they ver have a chance to be explored.<BR/>Mine happened as more of your bizarro griaffe story. (Isn't bizarro the Seinfeld word for opposite or reverse?) I was prepared to study English and writing and major in journalism in college- until after 3 weeks in my Lit class my professor still had nothing good to say about me or my work in class. I decided then and there that I must not have what it takes to study or be a writer.<BR/>Now, some years later, I am still grwoing and learning and have lived through some traumatic life experineces, including the death of my 4 year old little girl. <BR/>The best thing I have done in my grief and recovery, has been to write about my thoughts and feelings. Both in a private journal, and for the past several months, through my blog. <BR/>This is getting really long, I apologize, but now I get constant emails and comments, that I am a gifted writer, or that my stories are inspiring. I think sometimes, deep inside, we know ourselves the best. No matter what anybody else says. Stop by sometime...maybe I could get you to do a freelance illustration of me when I write my first book. That would be neat. =)Jodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01338865463777681078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31816857.post-1156202977271597152006-08-21T17:29:00.000-06:002006-08-21T17:29:00.000-06:00Cool technique.
