Your hammock time was exactly what you needed! It is those times of inventory of life events that often squeeze out a product of creativity. Bravo’! I will read something of yours next. I loved the song as I played accordion and love it’s sound. What are you working on now other than Tree? You have me curious!
Your illustrator for Little House in a Big Place is fantastic. And she lives just around the corner from me! Well, several corners through mountains. She’s about two hours away.
Wow... that's cool. I would love to meet Valeriane. I am so grateful for her work with my story. Picturebook creating is collaborative--so different from the other forms of writing.
Though this week--with you adding images!--has something of that feeling to it :)

Denelle! Thank you for the read. I hope you still play the accordion :) My most recently published books are a memoir of caregiving (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/43975907-dance-me-to-the-end), and yes, there is some levity to it, and some odd sorta poetry pieces to create white space on the page! And a picturebook (https://picklemethis.com/2019/05/17/a-little-house-in-a-big-place-by-alison-acheson-and-valeriane-leblond/).
At the moment, I am mostly focused on my Unschool for Writers newsletter as well as a novel for adults, now in third (100th+) draft
You are so right about taking inventory and squeezing! Well said! Do have a marvelous week.

Jeff, I should add that she creates the most beautiful calendars every year, if one is looking for a unique gift... available through her site.

Fun fact: on TREE, every connection – with about two exceptions – between the writing and the illustrations is a post hoc event.
I like that, yes! It creates this inner THING--a bit of struggle with trying to connect, and consciously thinking "let it be!"
Thanks for your hookups!
