Comic: Writer Prep (plus some BORING book news)
By Debbie Ohi | September 1, 2012 |
Congrats again to Dave Olimpio, who won the Writer Unboxed Summer Flash Fiction contest! Thanks to WU for giving me the chance to provide illustration prompts.
My big news: my first children’s book launches this week! I’M BORED is a new picture book written by Michael Ian Black and illustrated by yours truly, published by Simon & Schuster Books For Young Readers. You can read about it here and see the fun homemade book music video I created with a friend. Writer Unboxed will be interviewing me about the book later this month. Thanks so much to WU and all of you for your continuing support of my illustrations.

Didn’t I read yesterday that I’m Bored just went back for a second printing? Fabulous news! Congrats, Debbie!
Therese – yes, I was surprised but so pleased to hear that the book has had another printing!
Congrats!
Thanks, Bernadette!
CONGRATS DEBBIE! The music video is adorable — I was dying when the potato showed up!
Heh — thank you, Kathleen!
I made the Potato puppet in the video. As you can tell from the horrible stitching, I can’t sew!! But I’m hoping it added more character. :-D
I checked out some of the support pages fot the book. I love the concept, and the illustrations look perfect for creating a full series.
Thanks so much, Ron!
Great News. Congratulations!
Thank you, Sabra! :-)
Love the cartoon, Debbie.
Congratulations on your new book! HILARIOUS music video.
Thanks for the congrats, Cindy, and I’m so glad you liked the video. :-)
Congrats, Debbie! And thanks again for the awesome flash fiction prompts!
Thanks kindly for the congrats, Andrea!
That video is awesome! What a natural kid, even when called to utter words like “ennui.”
Congrats on the book launch, Debbie. Big things ahead.
Thanks, Jan. And I agree: Zoe was pretty amazing. :-)
Congrats Debbie for sharing such a wonderful news!!
Thank you, Eric! I really appreciate it.
Congratulations – can see a stuffed toy potato hitting the shelves too!
when will the book be down under?
Janet – aussie
Heh, thanks. I don’t know how popular a stuffed potato would be as a toy. As a side dish, though, I’m all for it! :-D Not sure when I’M BORED will be available in Australia – good question. I’ll try to find out.
That’s wonderful news! The book looks really cool, and it doesn’t hurt that I like Michael Ian Black, too.
The video was really cute, too!
Thanks, Bronson!
congratulations. I look forward to reading it.
