    My new book

    Well, my photoshop days where I learned to put dirtydog's head on the body of a ladyboy were not a total waste of time.
    I just received author copies of my latest book - Green Pigeon. I draw the pictures in pencil, then scan them and drop them into photoshop to add colours and filters.
    It's an educational book, teaching kids about bird behaviour, such as bird migration. It's also about a very small place just outside Byron Bay, that is called Green Pigeon. Lot's of green rainforest pigeons live there - hence the name.
    It's my second book, and I plan to keep making them ---- but as I am drinking so much now, the creative juices are just not flowing..... *note to self* stop bladdy drinking Wally!

    Green owed.

    Great stuff, looks very nice. Always good to get the creative juices focused and producing.

    Keep up the good work.

    Edit post

    Go advanced

    In attachment's section: 'attachments' New window with attachments opens.

    Select and delete. (though not sure how easy it is to see the delete open in that window.)

    If that does not work, report the post. But I think the only thing mods can do is delete the thread to let you repost clean.

    Just tried that but no go.

    Doesn't really matter.

    No pics of me - just some old friends from the 1990's and a pic an old couple from my my neighbourhood in Tokyo taken last year.

    Well done Wally!

    You're not gonna like this, but next time, I would get somebody to proofread it.

    I can find a few grammar mistakes.

    Question 6 needs an 'S"

    My new book-40671-my-new-book-74167717_10156865347854492_6954483239788478464_n-jpg

    "on it's cheek" doesn't need n apostrophe.

    I think it's fantastic what you have done. I'm only pointing this out because it might help you out for the future when approaching publishers.

    "it's wings"

    Good job Wally isn't an English teacher. Hopefully nobody else will notice the mistakes.

    Hi everyone,

    Thanks for the nice comments, and thanks for pointing out the mistakes.

    I actually noticed them myself once I received the copy.

    Yep - should have had it proof read.

    I will have to edit the manuscript and upload it again...

    In the future if and when you decide to publish another book post it on here first and the grammar police will be all over it.
    That means you will get it proff read in a hurry and for free.
    Just remember to acknowledge them in the book, well maybe not all of them, you can leave the tossers out, aw well i suppose that would mean there is no one to acknowledge afterall.

    I have nothing but admiration for some who makes the time and puts in the effort to get a book pulbished.
    Let us know if it is a financial success in the future or just a boost to the ego.
    Well done.
