Friends, another
good news, I've started writing down stories!
I
have been strongly encouraged to write picture book stories
and to illustrate them by my own for these years -- special thanks for my mentor Ann James and big names in publishing industry. Although a bit shy
Sadami was prudent, I finally felt the encouragement as a wonderful
opportunity! Yes, writing stories is quite a fun. Also, thank you for
warm cheers, support, visits for my blog and great patience for a new post!
Actually,
I've been enjoying writing stories since childhood (and kept it secret with diaries like other girls do). Yes, young Sadami
loved to imagine characters and created tales. Now, a dream is becoming
true. You'll certainly find "author and illustrator Sadami Konchi"
printed on picture books in the future. NOTE: It will take years to
come up in publishing industry. So, please look forward to it without a time frame.
Now,
the ongoing picture book illustration is going steadily. The stage of a
"full set
of roughs for the whole book." I'm enjoying working on the all roughs,
even though it's not easy and quite demanding. I'll organise the
storyboard again. Challenging, but these labour pains are so lovely.
A dear
linguist friend will visit me for tea before going back to a field work in
overseas. We will enjoy chatting over nudges for my writing stories. She and I both love readings and writing. Oh, tea will be a great fun!
These picture book related project occupy me
These picture book related projects occupy me more and more. I'm
also working on portraits. Weekly Monday posting is very hard and please forgive me. I'll upload a post from
time to time. But I'll certainly visit your blogs between projects!
Friends, Happy Painting and Writing!
My favorite say is, "Dream is unrealised reality."
Let us make dreams come true.
Writing Stories for Picture Books
