all there is to learn about being an author. Up until now, it's just been about the story, about encouraging kids to read and be creative with music. I always want it to be about the kids. But, there are realities too - how do you get published? How do you get printed books made? Who makes the actual book files? WoW! It's a lot that can distract you from the actual thing you're doing.
So, I think it's important to keep grounded. Every time I work on the project, I stop a minute and remind myself - "this is not about you. It's about kids (and adults) making music and reading for more than just a story. It's about doing something creative instead of vegging in front of the TV or technology or video games. It's about pretending and creating and fun."
