I'll make decisions on attempting a second (third?) and the level of detail on further books once I get through my first down and dirty original.

It's about a world of people that live "under the asphalt, people who've never seen the sun and don't know sound." Anyway, sounds creepier than it is. The melody is very sweet and the lyrics are a little kid-like...<br />-mariaMaria | Vintage Simplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02046940964809245057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232927064230838150.post-86819312294986109962009-09-23T08:34:28.425-07:002009-09-23T08:34:28.425-07:00I watched them make a book on Martha Stewart a few...I watched them make a book on Martha Stewart a few weeks ago and it looked very interesting.

I used to make books when I was a little girl too, but I just took a pad of paper and wrote my book on the already bound pad. I remember one story about a cartoon world on the other side of our pool's drain. It was written on a smallish pad of paper, maybe 3x5". I believe I wrote with a green marker.Denise | Chez Danissehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06418226690328176970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232927064230838150.post-38867886630852503692009-09-23T04:50:55.687-07:002009-09-23T04:50:55.687-07:00...I used to make my own little books when I was a......I used to make my own little books when I was a kid. I forget now how I bound them -- I know I used cardboard covered in the paper we used to cover our school books with (it came in blue or red, and it had the relief of spider webs) for the cover... Oh, and I think I just made the pages like a rectangle and folded them in the middle, made a couple of holes on the spine, and then tied some string for keeping it together... And of course I wrote who knows what in them.... Stories in a second grader's voice. <br /> <br />Huh. I hadn't thought about this in a really long time...<br /><br />Of course I realize you're talking about a more professional book. :) But thanks for allowing me to go down this little memory trip..!<br /><br />Keep at it, tortoise; you know you'll make it. Can't wait to see the end result.<br /><br />-mariaMaria | Vintage Simplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02046940964809245057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232927064230838150.post-68736614786632665492009-09-22T22:08:21.402-07:002009-09-22T22:08:21.402-07:00Chris- You make me smile.Chris- You make me smile.Denise | Chez Danissehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06418226690328176970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232927064230838150.post-18716201108461761762009-09-22T22:02:15.943-07:002009-09-22T22:02:15.943-07:00Keep plodding tortoise.
