Sleepy-Time Piddy Coming Soon!

Perrin P Piddy Goes To Sleep!

The proof has been ordered for Sleep-Time Piddy, which means Perrin's next book could be available for sale as early as next week!

Someone had asked me what types of books Perrin likes to read at bedtime.  Perrin likes to cuddle up with his daddy at bedtime, so he usually reads whatever his daddy is reading.  I asked myself, "What would Perrin read if he could pick out his bedtime story?"

Sleepy-Time Piddy shows Perrin getting ready for bed and reading a book before his dreams take him on a new adventure.  We find he is quite an imaginative piddy!

What is Perrin P Piddy Doing?

What do you think is happening in this picture?

I sit here with Perrin in my lap, typing to prove that I'm actually working, albeit slowly, on Perrin's next book.  Yes, I can write his books quite quickly, but getting quality pictures proves harder than they may seem.

I thought I was moving pretty quickly on the book, then I decided to change one page...and I realized I needed to rewrite the ending to go with the page change.  Meaning, I need more pictures of Perrin.  He is a cute guy, but he hates posing for pictures.

Above is a picture I'm using in the next book.  Nope, I'm not a decent artist, but Perrin seems to be okay with the illustration.  He did not like the drawing process, as I had to push him out of my lap to use the tablet to draw on the computer.  Such sacrifices a piddy makes!

Until the next book comes out, please continue to follow Perrin on Facebook.  :)

Perrin P Piddy's Mama Needs to Write More!

Wow.  My last post was in January.  It's now March.  March. 

It's not like I've been doing nothing.  I did work a little on Perrin's next book.  It includes some illustrations.  I'm hoping kids don't mind my lack of drawing skills.

I also wrote the lyrics of a song with Justin Furstenfeld from Blue October.  He created all the music.  Our song has nothing to do with Perrin.  Maybe you'll hear it on the radio soon.

Justin is the one with the beard...

I really liked working with Justin because he made me create.  Talk about the project, write a bit, take a break.  Do more work.  

Perrin isn't such a good writing buddy.  He wants to sit in my lap and I'm supposed to pay attention to him instead of writing.  No work involved there.

I need to find more writers for my social circle.  Any takers?

Piddy Resolutions

Only humans make New Year's resolutions.  Pigs are too smart to think they have to change something about themselves on January 1st just because the Earth made it one more trip around the sun.

Just for fun, let's think about what resolutions Perrin might make...

1.  Get up earlier...so I can eat breakfast sooner
2.  Eat more veggies...and anything else I can find
3.  Exercise more...by running from the living room to the kitchen to check on dinner
4.  Go to bed earlier...so I can get the best spot in the bed
5.  Lose between 5 and 10 pounds...by not allowing the cat to sleep on top of me!

It must be hard to be a pig.
