![]() ![]() After working and reworking it again and again, eventually there would come a day when I’d be in just the right mood and my own “voice” would “speak up” and things would finally gel. There have been times when I’d be working on a story or illustration and it just wasn’t working and I’d realize days or weeks later that the reason was because I was unconsciously trying to emulate someone else’s style. There are certain authors and illustrators I can’t get enough of and their styles have had a huge influence on my own work. I have a massive collection of books and they are a constant source of inspiration. It seems like such an obvious thing to say but of all the things I’ve learned over the years about writing, learning to trust my own instincts might be the most important. I’ve been trying to think of what I could possibly add to all the great writing tips and personal experiences people have shared and the one thing that comes to mind is to TRUST YOUR OWN INSTINCTS with your ideas and writing. I’ve read through many of the previous PiBoIdMo posts and they’re all so inspiring and helpful. It looks as though you’re almost to the end of PiBoIdMo-CONGRATULATIONS! It’s impressive that you signed on for that big undertaking. ![]()
