I'm working now on a collection of Shakespearean sonnets, about 100 of them, that I may publish if anyone's interested. My take on life is a little different from the bard's.
From Jack Prelutsky
I'm usually working on eight or 10 things at once.
I'm mostly influenced by life, what's around me, and my own childhood.
I write the poems first, with only a few exceptions for odd reasons, where I'm given the illustration first.
I would go to sketch groups and draw. I really enjoyed the subject matter, but I wasn't good at it.
I look for poetry in English because it's the only language I read.
I keep a guitar around while writing and will improvise music. I do this for several reasons, such as that it's fun, and sometimes it helps me with the meter.
I invented animals and birds - I had about two dozen. After working on them for six months, I sat down and just for fun wrote two dozen poems to accompany the drawings. It was for no one to every see, but a friend sent me in to an editor.
I always knew would be some sort of artist, but didn't know what.
I accept challenges, I have always done that in writing.
