Hey guys, last night at bowling, remember the whole, pidgeon thing? Yea...the made tons of money by just drawings the simplest things, and then we came up with our own...so I drew a few quick sketches (seriously, 5 minutes maybe?)...if it could be pulled through, we could ACTUALLY make alot of money.  |

Um...care to explain what the pidgeon thing is? XD Were people selling small, rough sketches there? And if you were to do so, where would you sell them? o:

Oh sorry...Jenna bought this book called 'The pidgeon goes to sleep' or something like that...and the drawings are really big, and look like it was coloured in crayon, and they are very simple. The story, is also pretty simple, maybe a sentence worth from say, a Harry Potter book. Yet, people are selling/buying it, and it was published. So, for the simplest of ideas, people can make money out of it.

The dude that made that book is pretty famous when it comes to Children's books - his name is Mo Willems, and he has a whole series of pidgeon books, like "Don't let the Pidgeon stay up late" (the one I showed you guys), "Don't let the Pidgeon drive the bus" (which won an award for best childrens book), and "The Pidgeon finds a hotdog" - he also has two board books about the Pidgeon, "The Pidgeon and Things that go!" and "The Pidgeon has feelings, too!" - he also has many other books, like "Knuffle Bunny" about a girl who goes to the laundromat with her dad, and loses her favorite stuffed toy - this one is cool because he uses black and white photos, then draws the images of the daughter, dad, bunny, etc over them. He also has a manners book out, called "Lets say Please" or something like that - with mice.  did I tell you guys that I tried to have a childrens book published when I was 10? I had this great idea that kids should write kids books - and I came up with this awesome story (or so I thought) about dinosaurs, and put together the drawings for it, too! I even called up the local publishers around Vancouver and sent them my work - I even got a call back from one called Peanut Butter Publishing - I'm not kidding! - who was mildly interested, though we dropped the idea when we covered costs - because as a 10 year old kid, I couldn't afford it. ; I should try again XD |

I thought I was XD
But covering all that cost myself and having them tell me it would be expensive was just as much a let-down than them actually turning me down, you know?
