I haven’t been up to much in the workshop lately. I have decided to self-publish my book Small Saul in the Big Bog, and because I am a frugal person, I also decided to try my hand at the illustrations.
Saul is described on the first page as being only four inches long, so my idea was to draw him on the page to scale to give the reader an idea of just how small he is. I found a photo of a bog lemming and enlarged it on the iPad screen until it fit into the four inches on my ruler.
In the photo, the bog lemming just puddled into the ground with no discernible feet, so I have taken the liberty of giving him some. You’re welcome, Small Saul. I don’t think I’ll get very far with doing my own illustrations, but I’ll try a few.
I did some research into self-publishing and immediately ran into problems with terminology issues, the issues being that I don’t understand the terminology of formatting the book. I might have to head over to YouTube to see if I can find “Book Formatting for Dummies.”
This post was formatted incorrectly and is therefore invalid; it will be deleted in the morning once I find a YouTube video showing “Deleting Blog Posts for Dummies.”

well, you might have had trouble with formatting, but Saul the Bog Lemming is quite spectacular and I don’t think you’d have any trouble with illustrations.
