Nice. They told me, you won’t get an agent, you don’t need one, don’t bother trying to find one. They told me I didn’t have a chance as an artist OR a writer. They told me only a few editors wanted writers who illustrate their own books. They told me not to even try rhyme. I have a surprise for them, in the works. 🙂

They also say you shouldn’t illustrate your own book. Clearly, they weren’t talking to you on either count.
