Positive energy

CORRECTION. In my last post I said our deadline came and went. Not true and I'm sorry this hurt my son. He's pro and would have made it. This deadline has been a sliding slithering thing. Our editor at ABC gave us till April 20th 2009 and as I say Oliver would have made that but, sensing we needed more time, she recently changed that to Sept 1st 2009. I don't care when it hits the book stores as long as it's the most beautiful book we can make with our present skill level. As I said to her, during a phone conversation last week, I go slowly and patiently in my career and though I may have wanted to be another Walt Disney I'd need to live till 140 to do everything. Oliver has made more books possible but it is our ABC editor, Belinda Bolliger, who is really driving this push for more books. When I come to think of it I am still uncertain as to why.
