It’s painting time!
We have this big bin of wood scraps sitting in the middle of our driveway right now.All little leftover pieces from the playhouse we’ve been working on.
So much project potential!.I found some of the thinner scraps and set them down on the driveway.Then, I just broke them to the size that I wanted using my hands and brute strength.
OK, the strength required wasn’t all that brute to tell you the truth.They ended up broken either way though..
I brought the pieces inside and set them down to look like some of the apple picking ladders I’ve seen around.
Notice how the “step” pieces get smaller and smaller as they go up..They wanted to know a little bit about my story and my background, and if I had any other interests besides the main subject for the book, and of course what made me so interested in writing a book on this subject, which was homekeeping/cleaning tips.
I was really surprised though, as I thought that I would mostly be listening rather than talking on this call, so I kind of had to gather my thoughts quickly on the spot and then “sell” myself a little bit.I didn’t think I’d have to do much talking or “selling myself” because they really have access to a huge amount of my writing on my blog, and I just kind of thought that would speak for itself.
There was a second call about a week or so later where we were supposed to talk about some ideas for concepts and things like that, and by that time I knew a little more about what to expect, so I came prepared!I came up with a few different ideas for the book and got myself ready to talk about my general vision for what type of book I would want it to be and how I would want it to look and feel.
