Okay, so I finished telling wife about this blog post idea, and she said,
That’s cute.
“Cute” is the picture book I originally self-published when I was 16 years old.
It’s crazy because I remember when I wrote its story in English, translated it into Spanish, drew its settings, colored its characters, bound its pages, and covered its hardback.
Beginning to End.
And I did everything in one night. It’s hard to believe but I can remember it all so vividly.
I had perfected procrastinating during my Junior Year of High School, but I needed this Spanish grade – so I paused slumberland to get it done – meaning I didn’t sleep one wink that eve.
I recall the morning of… I’m finishing its final assembly just prior to leaving for school. It’s sprinkling outside. The book is due second period.
Wow. This makes me think of that time I convinced my next year’s Spanish teacher on the last day of my Senior Year to give me a D- so I could simply walk and graduate High School.
Anyway, you can check out the 25-year-old bilingual, self-publication below, including new commentary by the author. ????
