It seems unneccessary to stick my oar in as I'm sure my view will be over-ridden by the publisher. But here goes anyway. I quite like the idea of the dragon being hidden within the book - a surprise - in the same way that you didn't want the text to refer to a "paper" boat. I think it's a real shame that you feel obliged to lose integrity to aid sales.<BR/><BR/>She looks spectacular, though. <BR/><BR/>Wouldn't it be lovely if you could just craft a book according to your beliefs and talents and visions...follow your star!??? !<BR/><BR/>I can really sense the frustration, Jackie, but hang in there, and THANK YOU for believing in the whole idea and doing such rare and remarkable work so far...<BR/><BR/>James xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181260093005129105.post-6188460911819824202009-02-24T10:06:00.000-08:002009-02-24T10:06:00.000-08:00Looking good - and you do really neat dragons!Looking good - and you do really neat dragons!NALhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13177463826578809288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181260093005129105.post-74204217962633236312009-02-24T08:09:00.000-08:002009-02-24T08:09:00.000-08:00It made more sense with the lad looking up at the ...It made more sense with the lad looking up at the star ("Star light, star bright!")--what do publishers know?! It must be incredibly hard being a working artist and have to put up with revisions--especially when you think you are done with your part.<BR/>But I greatly enjoy voyeuristically watching the process!Linda Navrothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15502650635226830385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181260093005129105.post-86738979622623734782009-02-24T07:33:00.000-08:002009-02-24T07:33:00.000-08:00I really feel for you Jackie and I hope that this ...I really feel for you Jackie and I hope that this wont end in dummy spitting and burning of anything.
