The experts disagree on how many works Leonardo created. There are generally fifteen paintings everyone agrees were done by Leonardo and a handful of others that are in dispute. It is believed there are many more works which have been lost through the years or remain unidentified. Then there are his manuscripts. Volumes of notebooks filled with his writing that span the whole of his adult life.
Learning and understanding are important, but nothing exists without doing. It is a slow steady process, the work we do every day that adds up to a legacy. The doing keeps us alive.
What will you do today?

I’m trying to find someone to give me feedback on my children’s book. Making a goal of that. It is hard to find someone to “really” give good feedback like a strong editor would. I’ve had some people read it, but I can tell they are not “editor” types. Frustrating, slows the process, because if we do it ourselves, we KNOW what we want and what our goals are, but when we get other people involved we have to be trusting and hopeful that they would give us the same type of heartfelt review that we would give their manuscript. That is where I am at… getting closer to submitting to agents. 🙂

I completely understand. Getting true constructive criticism can be a challenge. I want to offer to take a look at your story, with the caveat that my schedule is pretty tight for the next couple of weeks. Let me know. 🙂

Oh, that would be nice. It’s a picture book, so only 800 words I think. Very quick and easy. Mainly looking for feedback on how it reads and what might be missing or better. I think I have your email from a LONG TIME AGO, would have to check. NO RUSH… just would be nice to have a new pair of eyes look at it.

Ok, good news, I found your email. I had put the book in Adobe Illustrator, so I could see how the page breaks were going. I’ve made some edits, I will transfer the edits to word document and send it by this weekend. Word count needs to be around 500-800, so it is not long. The goal is for the publisher to choose a great illustrator, let the pictures do the talking. Ok, off to work soon… not a full time author yet. 🙂
