I’m sharing the Diggory’s story with you in serial fashion, two pages a day, over a 9 day period.
Writing Translated
PG 15: BAM! Diggory, the gum tree, the thorny bush, the Numbat , the Quoll and the Platypus went rolling down the hill.
PG 16: Finally, they reached the bottom of the hill. After disentangling from each other,the numbat sat shaking and pointing at Diggory in accusation. “I guess Wombats aren’t meant to fly,” said Diggory, sadly. The Numbat shook his finger again, then turned and stomped away.
Stay tune for Part 9, the (not so ) exciting conclusion of Diggory Wombat Goes Flying, tomorrow!
Details Behind the Story
Way back in June, for his July birthday, my hubby asked for a follow-up story to the Diggory Wombat Gets Lost book that I wrote and illustrated for him. Unfortunately, my Muse wasn’t interested so, after months of dithering, I wrote and illustrated the book in 4 days!
This book was done in one of Hahnemühle’s ZigZag accordion books. The book is one long sheet, folded into 18 pages. I love working on this paper!
I feel sad for diggory
Yeah – but he’s hard to keep down. Always willing to look for another way to get into trouble!
I was right – Platy is astonished at his predicament. And Diggory is finally learning about wombats and flying – not a possible mix.
Poor Diggory! But he gets over the disappointment quickly. Thank you so much for all your comments. They are truly valued!
Oh no! I thought I’d get to see the conclusion but I have to wait another day……
Sorry, the timing was off! I’m going to go back to posting in the evening instead of the morning. I’ve been staying up later and sleeping in so it will work better for now. Hopefully, it will be better for your schedule as well.
