"From out of thin air - an alien - you feeling ok? And . . . why? . . . Have you seen any lately?" asks a cynical voice.
"Yup, fine thanks and no, I haven't sighted one, awesome or otherwise. The design was inspired by a children's story I've written and illustrated. Incidentally, it is not about aliens at all. The story in turn is based on a mural I painted many moons ago, for my son. I've been in the throes of publishing the story ever since."
"How long ago would that be?"
"For . . . um . . . dare I say it . . . [ whispering ] over 10 years," I reply.
"OMG 10 years! What have you been doing? Growing the trees and making the paper too?" says the taunting voice.
"No I haven't and don't be so facetious!" I snarl. "Life in general has been the cause of the numerous shelvings, as well as a minor hiccup - leading to a total rewrite."
"So, what now?" goads the voice.
"At the moment, the story is being edited by a fresh pair of eyes and then. . ."
"Yes? . . . And then, . . . then what?"
"Then, I am going to steam forward, into the unchartered (for me anyway) land of self-publishing and bring the bugger out, once and for all, as a fabulous children's story book!"
[ Cue synhcronized glazed over looks from family members and friends ]
"Ha! Pigs might fly." laughs the voice.
"You think? Well, you just watch this space . . ."
