At present my charitable work is taking precedence. I just published the American version of the sign language alphabet and am preparing the layouts for download. The Ghanaian version will probably be next, and a handful additional layouts are in line to follow. The sequence always depends on the feedback I get, so it is not set in stone. But it is more work than it seems to be. And I am not making money from these.

I am preparing an additional illustrated series especially for children, the coolKIDS series of fingeralphabets. They will be published via LegendaryMedia Publishing and I should already be much further down the road with them than I actually am. These illustrations take a while to prepare, but having illustrations gives me more control and a cristal clear copyright situation. Which will give me less headaches in the long run, or so I expect.

My commitment to Fingeralphabet.org is why I am not here right now.

And this is why it will stay this way a bit longer. At least until I finish setting up the distribution and some other details.

A shame, indeed, because not only do I have much to share, but I have a speech coming up on the Frankfurt Bookfair this October, an I would just love to start giving you some resources on it.

Brainstorming right now on how to possibly achieve this little extra task.

Brainstorming is something that I love to do and something I am really good at. My What-Ifs are driving my partner crazy, who is more of a “facts”-person. So he is absolutely not suitable as a sounding board, which gives little Hunter (my dog) a much bigger role in this game. I know it sounds crazy, but it actually helps to talk aloud. And it is still easier to talk to a dog than to talk to myself.

Speaking of Hunter, one of the ideas involve him directly: The Little Hunterman Cartoon.

There are several reasons why I stopped it a while ago and not all of them have been resolved. But some. And maybe that’ll be enough.

So that would be one possibility of about 6 very different ones that I am mulling over right now.

I’ll keep you informed.
