"There is no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast."
There is only so much drama one can get into a 1,000 word picture book story. I wrote about a small boy who falls madly in love with a battered stray who wanders into his garden, then goes missing. He, the cat, is found again, but my agent thinks the story needs more tension - but love must be established before anxiety at its loss can be described - but that's publisher; ; they want it all & at the least cost to them. Ah, well, it's a business like any other.
Little Tiger sent me a questionaire that runs to 3 pages; I shall answer none of them except my name and telephone number. I will send a photo - also reguested. I think it damned impertinent of them to want to know so much. But perhaps it's just frustration that I can't say 'Yes' to the ocassional book signing. At the moment the nearest town seems like a 'planet far,far away. . .'
