So lets skip that one and get straight to the NEWS . . . Yep I actually have some ! And hey I think it's canny good news to be sharing with you all :)
So Cough, cough, HANG ON WAIT . . . . I need to go get my official hat on, and maybe find the hairbrush. HA You really should see me, I look like a pretty good interpretation of a scarecrow. Amazing how your whole image can change when you forget about it.
WHY ?? I mean surely the hairbrush is not an epic challenge ? NOPE no challenge just boring in comparison to what i am on with. What, what, what are you on with ? I hear you say.
You mentioned the book word . . . what does that mean ?
WELL, Exactly that . . . . I HAVE FINALLY FINISHED MY BOOK !!
Only a year later than i wanted to, or maybe two or three,
I'm really not sure. Bluuuur of all sorts and that
four letter pain in the hindquarter word 'LIFE'.
BUT now I can honestly say . . . .IT IS COMPLETE . . . COMPLETE . . . DONE, and I'm actually happy with the final result. WOW, aren't I doing well?
Changes, Miraculous things they are. Making them has the side effect of doing something.
Make them positive and you have DONE SOMETHING POSITIVE.
SO WHERE IS IT ??
It is in its final stages now, and this is erm . . . Headache mazes of html code and formatting stuff that frankly goes STRAIGHT OVER THE FORELOCK !! It seems that the easy bit was actually the writing of the story and the pictures. Computer stuff? YA LOST ME !!
So it's not quite there. But the journey to get there I would like to share with you so I shall blog a little more often in these final few weeks to book launch.
Date for launch is still to be determined, BUT it is going to be in March 2015
. . . YES INDEED THIS YEAR, I promise.
And so the hard work I thought i had done, seems to be just beginning. I must treat it as an adventure, avoid becoming disheartened and SMILE . . . .Must remember to smile on through there. And soon I hope to pat my self on the back and say WELL DONE you did it. Now go take a long bath, find the hairbrush, and GO TO BED. SMILE and be pleased with One's self :)
So keep your eyes peeled. NEXT WEEK will see Book trailer launch. I really enjoyed working on the book trailer. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it.
AND THE BOOK ?? If you giggle half as much reading it, as I did writing it. I'm gunna be over the moon. In a serious world ? Humour is much needed. And humour and the GeeGee's ? WELL Thats pretty easy, they go together like a saddle and a numnah . . . Cosy !!
And these GeeGee's they are full of humour. They never cease to surprise me with their antics and mischief. After helping bring their story to life i have had to work alongside some of the most funny but at times TOTALLY annoying characters. Who if you take your eyes off them for more than two minutes they will be eating the manuscript or pooping on the illustrations. And at this stage I'M JUST NOT HAVING IT !!
I literally have to have eyes in the back of my head and at times it has come to the point where i have had to say GET OUT . . .Go and chew on the grass in the garden. I can't have you guys in the studio anymore.
Of course then every two minutes you get . . . TAP, TAP on the door and a 'feeling sorry'
for himself GeeGee waving his hooves at you through the glass with them big googley eyes and pet lip. Pleeeeeeeease Miss Funky, I promise to be good.
How can i not let them back in when they do things like that ??
After all im telling their story, and beleive me when I say, It's interesting ! Oh yes, these GeeGee's are rather interesting characters ! Soooo I need to tolerate their ways, and they have MANY.
Including the dancing to the can can along to the tunes playing through my speakers. Believe me it is VERY HARD to try and draw straight lines when the ground is shaking like a mini earthquake.
Im trying to pursuade them to try some yoga. Theoretically then it should be quiet in the studio as they stretch and open chakras. But well with the relaxation comes the side effects of flatulence .
Have you ever tried to edit a word document when the room is full of a distinct rotten grass smell ?? Not to be advised. It plays havock with your eyesight when trying to read the letters of a sentence !! And as they tend not to be of the steadiest on their hooves these GeeGee's. Well there usually ends up a whole heap of alphabet and numbers on screen to delete back out. VERY FRUSTRATING.
But tolerate it I must. They are fun characters to have around. And I am loving bringing their story to life. Even if it means putting up with the mayhem that comes along with it.

And here i am creating one of the Illustrations . . . Like I say, I must brush my hair lol !
Sooooo hopefully my next blog post should be a very positive one. And the book trailer will go live.
And I'm hoping to also be able to give a final release date for the book . . . . Eeeeeeek exciting and nerve racking all at the same time. Thankgoodness for these GeeGee's cheering me up with their antics or id be crying all over the watercolour . . .
. . . OH MY, Imagine that, I'd be dooooomed !!!
Catch you soon
<3 Miss Funky.
