“Cheeper” in Local Newspaper

“A Must Read for Any Age”

Minor Error; Major Revision
First off, let me say that when one is writing a story based on real life, it is a good idea to do one's research before completing the storyline. Yes, I hate to admit it, but I made a big mistake there. I assumed I knew the behavior and habits of robins and decided to …
The Evolution of an Illustration
I thought you all would find it interesting to see how the illustrations for Cheeper are coming along. I am currently spending the most time on finishing the illustrations, as well as some more in-depth final editing of the story. My primary tools are a charcoal drawing pad (11x17), charcoal pencils (soft and medium), a blender …
