I wasn’t sure what to write about today, so I chose to discuss my writer’s block. It’s not really writer’s block, it’s more like illustrator’s block…draw-er’s block? The book I’m working on has been written for quite some time. I’m at the point where I have begun the illustrations. The problem is that this book is different than the Little L books in that it is emotional and a little sad. I don’t want to get into the story here, because I have not yet released the book . But though it is a sweet story geared toward children, it covers a more serious subject than runaway imaginations or monsters under the bed. Every time I sit down to draw the pictures for it, I get emotional (because I am a wimp). I am too sensitive for my own good sometimes. I have used this illustration in my blog before, but here is a reminder of the kind of person I am:

Anyone out there experience this kind of shenanigans when working on a creative project?
