Some good progress today! There's a lot of conflict going on in the writing right now, but it's all good conflict and I'm sure it'll be resolved eventually! I wrote in a very nasty villain today. Her name is Jealousy, and she's a wicked fairy from the South Forest. I won't say what place she holds in the story, but let's say that our dear little Rosehips isn't feeling very confident right now.
I made a decision today. This Rosehips book is no longer going to be an illustrated book. I decided on this because I like to encourage children to have an imagination, and to be able to picture things in their minds as well. Because of this, I decided that I would be discouraging children's imaginations by spoonfeeding them images that they could be picturing. I will have a nice cover and back for the book, but I will not do illustrations. I may do a few small black and white drawings for chapter headings, but they will not be relevant to events in the chapter if so. Also, the current events in the story will likely be very confusing when put to an illustration.
