Illustration Friday prompt for this week is ‘double.’ In keeping with the goat theme of the last few sketches, I offer up two goats. Because double the goat is double the fun.

Remember the rule for the daily doodle challenge is each day’s doodle must be done in ink, no erasing and be complete in 30 minutes or less.

I am more pleased with my goats then previously. I think it’s time to pick up the pencil and start scribbling pirate ideas down.

Later on today I will have to buckle down and write my article on graphic novels in the classroom which will be my first post (Aug 4) on the middle-grade group blog I belong to. From the Mixed-Up Files of Middle-Grade Authors launched about a month ago and almost immediately made news in the kid lit industry. The latest news to report is the blog being picked up as a feature link on Scholastic Book Club‘s Facebook fan page. With all this scrutiny from Big Name people in the industry, the pressure is on me to come up with a stellar entry for my debut post. Talk about stress!
