I get a lot of big ideas. A LOT, of which 3% (at best) ever come to fruition, simply because unless I am aware of a clear and precise path, I get discouraged. Writing a craft book has always been an interesting idea for me. Who doesn't love a nicely done book with great art tips and delightful crafting eye candy?
How to publish, what does that actually mean, and how much will it cost to do it right? All legit inquiries that eventually make me dizzy with stress and I have to breath into a paper bag.
Here is an honest and humorous article that answered some of my questions, by CraftyPod, called "Is It Worth It To Write a Craft Book?"
I could write a book about, "How to Talk Yourself In and Out of Writing a Book, One Hundred Times a Day"... Miniatures, Art Jewelry, Art Dolls, Illustration, all in one place? No. I'll just have to write 4 different books, or combine my interests into one hobby of illustrated miniature art dolls that you wear on your head.
