how interesting! maybe you need to pretend the goal is to make a drawing and you'll be writing stories as procrastination instead? i swear, i have to spend so much mental energy just to get myself focused on something. i feel like i'm always playing tricks on my brain to keep myself in line.
oh and here's a good quote from paula yoo's blog about it: "And as I have said repeatedly in every single blog... do not worry if you can't write 7 books in 7 days! Just try your best! The whole point is that this should help you overcome some procrastination habits, conquer your writer's block, and write fearlessly without worrying about making mistakes! Be bold, go crazy, and WRITE! There will be PLENTY of time to revise and polish your rough draft later. For now, have FUN!"
we are dasha and kate. we are friends. we live on opposite sides of the country. we share wonderful things of the world with each other here (with a strong bias towards children's books and illustration because, well we both illustrate children's books of course!)
we make our best effort to credit images and words when they are not ours - however if you see your work on our blog and would rather not - please let us know and we will remove it immediately. we share these images with each other in our utmost admiration and would never want to offend.
