So, I've been a little bit obsessed and freaked out about the sudden abundance of dog knitting books that are getting a lot of attention. I either hope that an appetite for more such books will be created, or worry that the marketplace will be pretty much saturated by the time mine appears. I confessed this to a wise friend, a woman I have great admiration for. She spoke about how there may be many out there, but only one that has my voice. I shouldn't be concerned about the other voices, just work on making mine the best that I am capable of. The book will be my voice, not the creative properties of others that I have picked over to find the best. Hopefully my voice will speak to some, and they will appreciate what I have to contribute. I need to focus on that as these next few months fly by.
