Thinking About Compiling Another Book….

Posted by Jenn Greenleaf May 27, 2009

I’m thinking about compiling another set of art journal page to self-publish through LuLu.com again, but I’m not sure…my inner critic is screaming in my ear to just leave things alone and keep the pages where they are. However, there’s another side (the one that is coaxed out by those who actually support and encourage me) that thinks this is a good idea. See the quandary?

Here are links to the others I’ve published what seems like a lifetime ago:

• Explorations: January’s Art Journal
• Explorations: March’s Art Journal

The original plan was to published journal pages during each month of the year . . . but, alas, life got in the way of creating the pages and the project never fully came to fruition. I have a stockpile of pages that I’ve created since then, so I may be able to carry the original concept out, only in a different way (volumes, rather than months). I’ll have to see how this goes, though.

I’ve also thought of creating a picture/how-to book containing sets of articles (arranged by topic similar to how things are categorized in my column) and step-by-step pictures to publish through LuLu.com, too, once the rights revert back to me. That might be beneficial to those who are looking for lesson plans, as well as those who keep saying they want pictures. (Sorry guys – I try to upload, and it won’t work!!)

Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions??
