Ideas...

I've been thinking recently as to how to go about creating a children's book I've had in mind for the past few months. I'll ask myself a question or two, like "how can I make this truly unique?," or "what kind of medium should I use for the artwork?" These are the kinds of things that need to be carefully planned to create a book that is as close to your original idea as possible. Then again, funny things happen when you begin a creative adventure, believe me. For instance, last spring, when I started making new songs for a "folk rock" record, I began by recording a couple of folk rock tunes. A few weeks later, I was putting some simple jazz chords together and making songs. This is what makes creating something so fun, the unpredictability that can show up at any time. Now, I'm trying to figure out how I can tie in the music record with the book. It is a challenge that I welcome.
