Hi everyone! Wow, I can't believe it's so long since I wrote my last blog post. I've been very busy, and lots of exciting things have been happening! One thing that's happened is that I now have this amazing new panda jumper. My Twitter friend, Reddy, has a very clever mum, who knitted it for me. I got a tape measure out to workout what size I was, and she then knitted it to fit me exactly! I love my new jumper, and don't ever want to take it off! Another lovely thing to happen was that my friend Destiny sent me this great drawing of the 2 of us together! (Destiny and her twin, Faith, have books written about themselves. Checkout "Destiny and Faith's Summer Adventures" on Amazon!) I've also been very busy drawing things with M. We've been learning to use a drawing app on her iPad called "iDraw". This means that I won't need paint to colour things in now, so I won't be leaving little paint footprints around the house anymore. Billy's mum is delighted! We found some great YouTube lessons on how to use the app, and lesson one had us playing at drawing the little monster above! We then learnt how to draw this amazing 3D ball! Now we are experimenting with different cover designs for our Monster Poems book. This is one of them, but we've not decided which new design we like best yet. We hope to soon have a paper version of Monster Poems available for people to buy on Amazon. We will be completely redesigning the inside of the book for this, in order to make better use of the larger, full-colour pages. And my MOST EXCITING NEWS... We will be heading off on our holiday to Lundy Island in a few days! We've already started to pack, I'm getting very excited! I will get to sail in a big boat, then we will camp on this wonderful island for nearly a week. M and her husband plan to go rock climbing on the island's sea cliffs, but I plan to go off exploring! With 3 lighthouses, a castle, a cannon, and lots of interesting ruins and buildings (not to mention lots of seals), I think I'm going to have plenty of places to explore! I can't wait to show you photos, and to tell you all about my holiday adventures when I get home again. Bye for now! Love Odd xxx

Wonderful post, Melinda! Sorry I'm late reading it. Destiny and Odd seem like that were meant for each other as best friends. :) I love the new artwork you've been doing and can't wait to see the paperback of Monsters!
