Sketches and Artsy Stuff. Part one: Creating Strong Female Characters. June 28, 2014. Here’s a question for everyone who writes, illustrates, and is in any way involved in the shaping of a child’s perspective: do you feel responsible for creating characters that dispel misconceptions and stereotypes? More and more, my answer is yes. Just how do these statistics relate to writing or illustrating? I have two daughters and a son and I desperately want for them to grow up in a world where they are respected ...

Sketches and Artsy Stuff. Part Two: Creating Strong Villains. July 22, 2014. What makes a story great? There are a multitude of answers to that question: the premise, the writing, the protagonist, the setting, etc… But, I have a confession. What makes me stay up all night turning the pages is the villain. Be as great without Jack Torrence? Be as memorable without the serial killers Buffalo Bill or Hannibal Lector?

Jun 5th, 2015 at 6:25 PM. Even though she knew Rose would yell at her if she found out she was calling while driving, she pulled out her cell phone and called home.
