A book double-header!

Two major achievements this morning!

First, I FINISHED THE BOOK BLOG!!! After nine months of writing three posts a week, I have finished the first draft of my book about the creative process – from generating ideas to reflections on the finished piece. The final post (which follows a section on reflecting on a project) talks about what makes a project a success. It’s not just about the finished piece!

From here I will post new content once a week or so (just to keep the blog going), but more filling in gaps than writing new chapters. I’m also going to start turning the blog posts into chapters, and moving forward with interviewing artists for the final chapter (which is reserved for the book). So, lots of work still to do, but…I FINISHED THE BLOG!!

Second – almost as exciting! – the book proposal is DONE!! I wrote the last revisions this morning. From here it goes to the proofreader, and then out into the world! I’m totally jazzed.

So, major red-letter day today. I’m thrilled.
