I present you the Monstrous project!
It is a huge project, complicated work that requires specific talent and hard work, high tech equipment and a well-trained group of people.
Ok, ok, it’s just an ebook…
But that doesn’t make it less monstrous!
♠
Remember Jack? My monster?
Well Jack has a story behind him, a small story I wrote a couple of years back and now I decided to go public, get out of the closet, (although it’s more possible you would find me in the fridge, where there is food) and publish it! “Publish” in a matter of speaking, I only want to make a decent pdf file ebook, and finally bring my monster to life!
Oh well, the story is ready to go, I just need to paint the pictures… Worst part ever… Blank paper is so intimidating…
A few friends helped me see how Jack looks like digitized and sort a few things out in my head about how i want the book illustration to look like.
Rusty doodle, a fellow blogger, and Manos Kotsifakis a dear friend! Thank you both, I appreciate your help so much! 🙂
Please take a moment and pay my friend a visit, he has an awesome zazzle store where you can find all sorts of things like magnets, pillows, baby clothes, notebook, accessories and the list goes on!
A bit about the story...
Jack is a blue monster struggling to fit in a world of monsters. He is different form the others so he wears a costume and mingles among them; he even gets to be friends with some of them. But is Jack happy living a life in disguised? Find out…
This tiny book talks about how we see ourselves through the thoughts of a monster, how we strive for social acceptance and what, at the bottom line, makes us happy.
Jack is me and probably you too.

SO, the reason why i am writing this post is so that i won’t get away with it. Now you know I promised to create this tiny book, it’s like a contract, I can’t back off…
Fingers crossed I will make it happen! (I will keep you updated)
~*~
Happy Fall!

Who doesn’t like swimming anyway! 🙂

You are so kind, since i started blogging all of you have been a raft through everyday life so many times! 🙂
Yay! How exciting 🙂 please add me to your ebook list! I want to be the first to read it!

This sounds really great, Ioanna! Best of luck, fingers crossed (mine since you won’t be able to do too much with crossed fingers!) and no backing off 😉
You are all such good friends! I have written this story ages ago and I don’t think I would have had the courage to “go public” without you having my back! Thanks! 🙂
And another like!
Hahaha thank you! 😀
Sounds like a very worthwhile project and just as you said, there are many, many Jacks out there! 🙂
I know, deep down we are all weird looking monsters! 😉
Sadly, not so deep down for me! It’s pretty much right on the surface these days! 🙂
Hahahaha, don’t worry, that makes us two! We can hang around together and scare people!
