OK, so, I just got a letter from a publisher saying they'd like to read the rest of my book...and OK, that isn't an acceptance, but it isn't a rejection either!

le sigh... the champagne goes back in the cupboard this time. They're all fools... I have to deal with publishers now as well, they come in and see our book illustrations and tell us why they suck...
ally, i couldn't do the story you sent me, but I might do it as a graphic novel next term, if they'll let me...

I'm doing some tosh about cats now, because cats sells books you know. Cats are the most popular animal in childrens books.

Hardly surprising considering that they're the superior of all animals.

the lion is king of the jungle, but the cat is king of everything else...

Largely because the cat knows better than to go into the jungle (and so do lions, really. When have you ever seen a lion in a real jungle, rather than a grassy plain somewhere? The closest I can think of are jaguars that live in the rainforest).

I think there's one kind of lion that lives in a jungle, but most of them don't.
