No!, You just tune out those naysayers and remember every rule can be broken. Prove them wrong. Your book is unique in your artwork makes it that much more so. It is a one of a kind with life messages. Go for it. I know what you mean about God messages. They find us!

I think the advice about illustrating your own book should be taken with a grain of salt. If artists and writers did everything we were told, then there would be a fewer great works of art and literature!Mary Hornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10962782269214823198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8047934029762798489.post-55157005963695761072015-05-20T15:19:05.004-07:002015-05-20T15:19:05.004-07:00Lynn, thanks for catching us up on all your news. ...Lynn, thanks for catching us up on all your news. Sending prayers for you, your family, and uncle during this tough time. Love the Mother's Day and shower pictures--so cute!<br /><br />Finally, when it comes to your book, follow your heart. It doesn't matter what anyone else says or thinks. Every successful trail blazer was once a rule breaker. Do what feels right for you.<br /><br />Pat<br />Critter AlleyPat Wahlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01138619912065680084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8047934029762798489.post-43399827186821367032015-05-19T06:46:33.495-07:002015-05-19T06:46:33.495-07:00You are always so interesting!

The book sounds great, and I feel compelled to check it out now. AND, your daughters are gorgeous, not a surprise. As to the "don't illustrate your own book," I've heard that before, too, but many successful children's authors have done just that, so follow your instincts and heart. Sometimes "never do this" really means "pave new road." So go pave. :)Lisa Ricard Clarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15014582949326182166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8047934029762798489.post-57529748526303924422015-05-18T20:12:50.047-07:002015-05-18T20:12:50.047-07:00Sorry about your hand and your uncle and that &quo...Sorry about your hand and your uncle and that "advice" that drove a wedge between you and your book.<br /><br />But you DID have a lovely meal prepared for you, and read a good book, and got to see a watermelon baby.

So sorry you had to get burned to sit still and read, but at least you got the antidote! And one final thought: you would not be you if you didn't listen to your higher self. Your illustrations are awesome.Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02141883867104777688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8047934029762798489.post-80475969996529598852015-05-18T17:24:16.668-07:002015-05-18T17:24:16.668-07:00What a wonderful blog page to catch us up.
