Got an idea for next month's banner?
Neat! Looks like you are under the ocean.
It makes me think of waves breaking on the shore. Perhaps the old route out of Wellington with the road next to the sea and the waves that sometimes broke over the wall onto the road. The green is like an ominous stormy sky from a story book, and the darker bit between the lighter top and the waves at the bottom is like the swell of the sea. There's probably a monster in the water.
You could totally write kids' books.
If only I could draw!
You actually don't have to, most publishers want to pick the illustrator themselves so they just want you to send them the words part.
Interesting! If only I enjoyed fighting against the odds to get my 32 line story seen by an agent in order for the small royalty cheque that goes mostly to the illustrator that is much more well known than I so gets the bigger cut!
True, true, the only way to make money seems to be self publish and for that you need space for a garage full of books!
I'm not sure what it's like these days but NZ was always so small we don't really need an agent for local publishers, though.
From a young age I have known I wanted to be someone that sits at a desk with a steady pay cheque. I've never dreamed of entrepreneurship.
Also I spelt entrepreneurship right on the first try and I'm super proud of that 😆
