I think it must be hard for writers to turn their work over to illustrators because they are entrusting their beloved characters to the illustrator's interpretation. heatherdent56https://www.blogger.com/profile/06901546679358236331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822968354892261438.post-40381866819389141272013-09-26T17:35:17.382-07:002013-09-26T17:35:17.382-07:00Sounds like the conference was a wonderful, enrich...Sounds like the conference was a wonderful, enriching, inspiring experience, Heather! I'm so glad! It's so true what you say about getting attached to your characters because you spend so much time with them - that is true of writers too (at least in my experience.) But you make me really think about it from the illustrator's perspective. By the time an illustrator gets my story, my work is done but their's is just beginning. You're right - they will have to spend a lot of time with those characters! So it makes me realize once again, from another perspective, how important it is to write stories and characters that people want to spend time with! :) Congrats on the kind words you earned!Susanna Leonard Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17655630528649780363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822968354892261438.post-73687696178441647792013-09-26T10:46:18.768-07:002013-09-26T10:46:18.768-07:00Thanks Victoria!

I'm so happy to see your work developing. It is scary to put our art out in the world but, in the end, don't we often make art for others to appreciate? Really inspiring review :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15710336985456824283noreply@blogger.com
