Day Twenty-Eight

I've been thinking about the dedication for the book for awhile now, and I think I know who I'm going to dedicate it to. Dedicating a book to someone is one of the most important things about writing a book right? Writing a book just screams... Dedicate it to someone right? :) Well... I have some people in mind; maybe my mom, or my brother, even my father. I could dedicate it to MY kids, but I don't have any! I wanted to stay away from dedicating it to my immediate family members because everyone does that. The person I chose is still in my family, but they mean a lot more to me. (Still love the family though... No hard feelings.)

It's important to acknowledge those who help you life because without them; you could make it anywhere. Having inspirational people in life isn't always guaranteed, but when you find someone like that; you should show respect to them. I know I'm rambling about who to dedicate the book to, but it was actually a pretty easy decision once I thought about it. I've had help from my mom, and my brother, and even his girlfriend on writing my book, but it's something they usually do; which means that I'm happy they helped. I don't think it's worth dedicating a book to them though because they help me no matter what.

Back to the point though... I'm dedicating my book to Michael, and no not the Michael in our class. I'm talking about my Uncle Michael, who died back in 2001. Is it weird that I'm dedicating my book to a deceased loved one? My reasoning is because he was always there for me, and we were really close back in the day. It's been almost 9 or so years since he's been gone, but I've never really gotten over it. I don't want it seem like I'm too emotional about this because it's just a children's book, but he was always my inspiration. I mean he wasn't killed or anything; he just had heart failure I believe. He was the one that everyone wanted to be like, and hang out with; he was always wanted around. I guess I'm really just dedicating it to him because he was my biggest role model, and he was an aspiring artist too. I figured why not dedicate the book to another artist, so there's why I'm dedicating it to him. I might make a little side-note dedication to the readers (kids) because they're important too.

Just to make things clear... I'm dedicating it to my Uncle, and I didn't mean to make this blog seem so sad; it just came out that way I guess. Don't get like emotional or anything please... It wasn't intended for it, but if you didn't... Disregard this message :)

Forgot to mention... A special dedication for the class.

Hmm... I'm guessing that's all for today's blog. Enjoy!
