Today, as every day, I was agonizing over what to blog about
as Light Bright and I went to the new building to deliver mail. I began telling
her about a short story I’d written, based on my brother’s eventful wedding, in
which the main character wrote children’s stories about Sydney the Red Blood
Cell, like Sydney Visits the Heart
and Sydney Visits the Lungs. When I
had told Tiffy about this back in the day, she suggested the title Anemia: Sydney Goes on a Diet and also
doubted that Sydney would enjoy much circulation. To my surprise, Light Bright
thought I should actually write the series of children’s books about Sydney,
which I had always intended to be a funny detail in the short story. “They
would be very educational,” she said. So I leave it to you, gentle readers –
should I actually proceed with this undertaking? Would children everywhere love
to learn about Sydney’s travels throughout the body?

Yes, proceed as quickly as your circumstances reasonably allow.
ReplyDeleteI'll see what I can do...
ReplyDeleteI think it will be cool to write a book like that. Partner with the giant microbes and maybe the kid could get a plush red blood cell along with each book
ReplyDeleteMaybe I will run the idea by them. Maybe I could write stories for other Giant Microbes too.
