Day 2 – NaP

May 2nd, 2014

Yesterday I managed to get The Difference Engine written and started work on the board book today but I think it is going to be quiet tricky fitting it all in this week looking at my to do list!

The rest of the month I am going to be using to work on my children’s books and illustrations in general so it shouldn’t be too bad even if I do not make the 7 books in 7 days.

Day 1 – NaP

May 1st, 2014

Books that I am attempting to write this year:

1) The Difference Engine – for 9 – 11 year olds

2) Numberscape – for 11 – 13 year olds

3) The Little Book of Computer Poetry

4) Ada – board book for babies and toddlers

5) Lady Lovelace – for 5 – 8 year olds

6) The Little Book of Maths Poetry

7) The Little Book of Science Poetry

You may have noticed a few more Little Books of Poetry have crept in there!

Wish me luck!

So tomorrow is the start of National Picture Book Writing Week – a writing challenge started by Paula Yoo a few years ago. I have taken part in all but the first one.

It is an absolutely insane challenge – the first week of May you attempt to write 7 picture books.

This year my plan is to concentrate on producing the books that will go with my science puppet show Cuddly Science.

I decided to do doodle on the wall of our stair well that is due to be decorated 🙂

The face upon the wall

It was interesting as the wall is lumpy so the pencil didn’t go where I expected 😛
