The most unexpected delight of writing The Book of Dog was the way I one day began to draw the story as I wrote it.
You must understand, I’ve never drawn anything. I felt very silly. Because these are silly drawings.
But I loved these drawings! I have a big pile of them now, enough for every sentence I wrote practically.
Honestly a big part of the reason I decided to self-publish was because I didn’t want anyone telling me “Ok, we want to offer you a book contract, but these silly drawings simply have to go.”
I didn’t want to have to make that choice in my life.
