Final Project is Complete

 Hi ya'll! 

Okay, do you remember what I said about publishing my book on Smashwords? And publishing it on iBooks? Yeah, so it turns out, even if I do get approved, my own ebook that I wrote will not be available to me for see in the Canadian store!!! 

I think I am going to keep looking though and see if I can get it published. What happened to Kindle? Turns out, even if you do publish it for free, you still need to put in your bank information! 

Even though it's 2020, I'm still weary of giving out my bank information. 

So, in the mean time, I've uploaded my book to my Google Drive and I've included the PDF link in my 'Final Project' page. 

Go check it out! 

Not to toot my own horn but I think it turned out really good :) 

This is not the end of the 'Genius Hour' adventure though! I still have to do a few things here and there, but we're close to the end :) 

I'll update you soon though :)

Week 6 Update #1

 Hi ya'll! 

Boy, do I have an update for you guys! 

I'm so glad to report that I'm done my Genius Project!! 

The book is called "Max's Colours" and it's published on Smashwords if you want to go check it out

I'm also going to attach a copy of the ebook on my blog too! But I'm going to do that tomorrow, since I'm soooo tired! 

I've also published it in iBooks but I'm waiting for an email saying that my book has been approved, and so I decided to also upload it onto Smashwords. 

Today I did: 

- Begin and finish writing the story
- Created more illustrations
- Created a book cover (on an app called Canvas) 
- published it on iBooks and Smashwords 

I did so much today, I'm so proud of myself! 

My next steps will be to: 

- check email for publishing approval 
- link my ebook to my 'Final Product' page
- check out my other colleagues Genius Hour Project 
- Write a reflection about my progress 

I know, I know, this blog post is very, VERY dry. But, to be fair, I'm so tired. 

I'll update ya'll soon though :)

Main Character Drawing

 Hey ya'll! 

I'm sooooo excited to report that I FINALLY figured out the Sketchbook App AND I created the main character of my children's story!!! 

Look at him!! Isn't he adorable?? His name is Max. I know I said that my character was going to be named Isabella but this dog just looks like a Max, doesn't he? 

AND he only took me like about two hours to create! 

I'm super proud of myself! And I think I'm going to create some quick cartoon fireworks so my drawings aren't going to be so boring in my story. 

Anyways, that's all I wanted to update ya'll with :) I'm so proud of myself for learning how to maneuver this new app - and a digital drawing one for that matter! 

That is all. I'll post another post once I'm finished writing the whole story. I'll try and do that by the end of the weekend? But I'm no promises! 

The entire final product and publication isn't technically due until the 11th of October, but I'm so excited for this project, I might just get it all done this weekend. 

But who knows? I'm DROWNING in homework for school. 

Anyways, talk soon?
