I wish the book could feel as fun a process as the blog. Can't it be that- a compilation. Yours is not the account of contrived drivel. We only hear what you eat for breakfast if it makes your taste buds explode with pleasure. You have brought macaroons to life. I am expecting them to be named any day, and I would be in sympathy with Penelope Pink if she had been dashed by Leo Lime. I actually remember telling you I didn't care for macaroons. WHAT DID I KNOW! I am surprised you didn't box my ears! OK 'nuff said. <br />But I mean, who puts a photo of a bewigged Spielburg among pink macaroons! with Woody in the wings looking characteristically wounded. <br />I love it!<br />Kathryn Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-60653107761110943882013-05-20T22:59:26.652-04:002013-05-20T22:59:26.652-04:00Oh, yes, please!

A collection of your beautiful watercolours and little vignettes of life in Paris that I could hold in my hand - I'd buy it!

I am thinking that your book might be m...Hi Carole. I am thinking that your book might be more of a narrative than one with many pages of sketches. There are a couple of books which I thought might be the sort of format suitable to making a book of your experiences in France, and they were written by an Australian girl who lived in Italy: they are titled "When in Rome" and "See Naples and Die". (there was an old saying in England in the 19th C re the beauty of Naples - then an unspoilt city surrounded by rich nature - "see Naples and then you can die...ie you mustnt die until you have seen Naples". The author is Penelope Green. She was a journalist in Australia so she has a racy sort of writing style...and she already had her foot in the door of the publishing world...they actually asked her to write the first book! I think my own book including my life as an Australian girl in Italy is more interesting tho ...but maybe I dont have her clever writing style; nor do I have her determination so it'll prob stay in my computer. Anyway I think its a good format for you so that your book is more than an extensive guide to all the patisseries in Paris etc. Anyway, just an idea. And also a lot of writers are finding that ebooks are more profitable. But yours would have to include many of your paintings and illustrations.

My book is my baby and most of it is set in Paris, my characters need to now leave Paris and continue on their journey and I think that I am subconsciously resisting and dragging because I don't want to leave Paris. I know that you will be successful with whatever you do, you have a gift and a talent. Isn't the guilt just awful?

As the editor of a small magazine who is frequently called upon to manage the emotional lives of authors, I say somehow push beyond the horrible, sleep-draining, soul-sucking doubts. Your book will be a snapshot of your Parisian life and patisserie excesses, not a be-all, end-all of the expat experience.<br /><br />Let your WRITING and ARTWORK be a macaron: excellent ingredients, time in the editorial oven, and mouthwatering sweetnesses as readers turn pages. Your gorgeous watercolors and notebooky style will captivate, and of course Paris itself will send copies flying off booksellers' shelves. I would certainly buy multiple copies for myself and my artist and francophile friends. It would be especially great if it were out by my own Parisian sojourn this August, but . . .<br />Best wishes and best edits,<br />Kathy<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-89986644380019456032013-05-18T11:21:59.770-04:002013-05-18T11:21:59.770-04:00I am already standing in line for your book.
