New Book

On July 8th I got a call from Robert Arthur, the publisher of San Francisco Bay Press. He wants to publish my new manuscript, "A Dreamer's Guide to Cities and Streams." I was, and am thrilled, of course. (And, I didn't want to post anything until we were ready to go to press. We are now.) It's been an adventure with the myriad of important details; the close editing, a new headshot which required two sessions, new bios, and of course the stress of 'letting it go.' I've been spending most of the past month working on getting some fantastic endorsements to add to the one I already had from Al Young. Lucy Lang Day, Martha Meltzer and Becky Foust all came through royally. But here's the thrilling, and unexpected result of Bob's vote of approval (besides a final mss.): a renewed energy and enthusiasm for my work. My confidence is at an all time high and I feel really motivated and juiced. I went off on my own for a few days of 'retreat' and I was blown away by the quality and quantity of work I got done. More on the retreat in my next post...

Good morning. Statistics: The only science that enables different experts using the same figures to draw different conclusions.
I am from Colombia and learning to write in English, please tell me right I wrote the following sentence: "While drawing cartoons you can reduce the complexities by drawing four fingered three plus thumb hands."

With best wishes :(, Jalen.
