It's still winter! The bone-shaking chill of a new January with its winds, ice storms, broken healthy resolutions and humourless deadlines (tax payments, school applications, etc) can make even the bravest of us want to curl up in a cave next to a blazing fire and hibernate until spring arrives.

And to some of us who suffer from depression (episodes of persistent sadness or low mood, marked loss of interest and pleasure) either constant or intermittent, winter can be one of the hardest times. Depression being a multi-headed hydra ranging from many states of unipolar to bipolar, I'm not suggesting that there is one single type of depression; for instance not all of us are affected by the winter or weather, while some people who don't even have depression in the clinical sense might be experiencing a mild case of the winter blues, or Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).

Creativity is like a fire that we can stoke to drive away the cold winter (whether physical or psychological, internal or external). So I'm deep in my cave trying to work out ways that I can stoke my creativity without resorting to biscuits!

Bibliotherapy's been around for a while now, and is the literary prescription of books and poems against a range of "modern ailments" - including depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem. A form of guided self-help, it's not exactly a new idea - the ancient Greeks spoke of "catharsis" - the process of purification or cleansing, in which the observer of a work of theatre could purge themselves of emotions such as pity and fear through watching and identifying with the characters in a play. All of us in the modern world can attest to the feeling of connection and joy when an author so precisely describes a state that we are ourselves experiencing, and the nail-biting, cliff-hanging state of knowing exactly what our heroine or hero is going through. We root for him or her because s/he represents ourselves battling our own demons in an idealised meta-state.

But how does bibliotherapy work? According to the various proponents, it helps perpetuate a shift in thinking, so that things are not so inflexible (black and white thinking, for all you cognitive-behavioural depressives out there!) which is crucial to tackling depression. Being able to gain distance and perspective by viewing problems through the lens of fictional characters means that in real life our fixed thought-patterns which contribute to our problems can start to become unpicked.

And of course, identification isn't the only joy to be found in books; good old-fashioned escapism is surely the reason why many of us read so avidly. A new world, a new family, a new life, perhaps even new biology or physics, takes us away momentarily from the mundane world so we can return refreshed, hopefully to see our lives with new eyes.

I've obviously been self-medicating for a long time, but I always called it comfort-reading. By comfort-reading I mean a well-known book that you can plunge into at will like a warm bath or a pair of slippers. At school when I was anxious about exams or bullies I would find solace in re-reading the heroic adventures of Biggles or the magical quest of Lord of the Rings; at university it was in the dreamy memories of Brideshead and the vicissitudes of Billy Liar or Lucky Jim. When I started my first office jobs I would read 1984 or Brave New World (odd choices for comfort-reads but I think it was to remind myself that things could actually be worse!) but when I started writing my own books, I ...er ... stopped reading for some years. I think my tiny little brain could only take so much exercise!

I started comfort-reading again when we first had our children; during long and frequently painful breast-feeding sessions my husband would read my childhood favourites Charlotte's Web and Danny the Champion Of The World to me as distraction and encouragement. And these days my prospective comfort list numbers hundreds of books; for me, reading is re-reading.

So what could I take to bolster myself against the winter chill? I've written myself a prescription but I'd be interested in hearing yours!

1) A dose of James Herriot's short animal stories, to be administered when needed (they are nice and short so you're not left hanging after a few pages) or chapters from Jerome K Jerome's Three Men In A Boat, or virtually anything by PG Wodehouse;

2) A daily dose of half an hour "joy-writing" - half an hour in the morning when I can sit down and let ideas spill out onto the page. (If it ends up with me writing about what happened last night then so be it. It can often lead to something more ...)

3) A small creative project on the horizon, easily identifiable and manageable, that I can look forward to; in this case getting a small group of actors together to read through a new draft of a play that I've written (there'll be a blog post on this soon so stay tuned!)

4) Connection with others - I'm a member of a local book group, which not only makes me keep on top of what new books are coming out, but also participating in the joy of discussion; there's nothing more frustrating than reading a good book only to realise that nobody you know has read it!)

So I think that's enough to start barricading myself up against the January snows!

But what about you? What kind of comfort-reads do you enjoy to drive the cold winter away?

I hope it's not too late for a New Year's Resolutions post. These are the same ones I make and break every year, they might strike a chord.

1. Stop checking Amazon sale rankings every five minutes. They don't even mean anything, and besides, you said were boycotting Amazon.

2. That didn't mean you could go on Twitter instead.

3. Take more exercise. OK, well at least try and stretch. Try reaching for that book over there without leaving your chair. Reach. Stre-e-tch.....Oh. I hope that wasn't a precious coffee cup. I'm sure the stains will come out.

4. Stop checking your email addictively. Remember that your publisher will reply in a minute, they're probably just really busy.

5. Wait, why are you on Amazon again? What did we agree?

6. Read some books. Yes, a book book, not a tweet or a blog or a photo of your friend's cupcake platter. You're on public transport, what kind of example are you settting, squinting at your phone? You can't sit there being all anxious about the decline of reading if you're part of it.

7. If school food is so inedible, why don't you prepare a packed lunch once in a while for your author's visits instead of complaining bitterly inside your head on the way home?

8. Are you really typing Amazon in to the search bar again? You only checked a few seconds ago. How many were you expecting to sell in that time?

9. This isn't your bookshop. Leave everything where you found it. Was that pile of your books in the window when you came in? I didn't think so.

10. Stop checking your email! They will reply in a minute, OK?

11. No, Facebook is just as much a waste of time as Twitter. Close that browser down.

12. Do some research in a library (if you can find one that is still open) and not all on Wikipedia. It's amazing what you can find out, and you might even stay on topic, rather than researching one place name and ending up reading about the history of the apple strudel for two hours.

13.  Go for a walk every now and then. Forget about it for a while. It's better for you than sobbing and beating your fists against the wall.

14. Come up with a clever answer for when people ask "And how many copies have you sold?"

15. Come up with a clever answer for when school children ask "How much money do you make?"

16. Come up with a clever answer for when your bank asks "Why should we extend it ?"

17. Yes, using the Amazon app on your iPad counts. Put. It. Away.

18. Take some deep breaths. The publisher's reply was fine. Yes, it was.

19. Wait, you want to contact the hacking collective Anonymous and ask them to hack in to the Amazon servers to do what? No.

20. You have friends and family, apart from the ones in your head and on the page. They might actually like to see you once in a while.

21. How on earth did you get hold of Jeff Bezos' mobile number? You are out of control.

22. Try not to sound quite so breathlessly excited every time your agent rings. It is only once a year, you could at least learn to feign cool.

23. There was something else too, it's on the tip of my tongue...which reminds me, make more notes, do a memory course, but get better at remembering all those brilliant ideas.

24. Try not to stare into space quite so much, especially in public. You're really freaking people out. Hang on a minute though...

25. That's it. You got there. Knew there was one last thing. Write more words, on the page. In fact, forget all the others, you're going to do them anyway. So just stick to this one. Write more.

2009 was one of the craziest year of my life to date. Some highlights: **Warning: Long blabbing post!!**

-Books published! Two "my first graphic novel readers" published by Capstone Press: Lily's Lucky Leotard and T-Ball Trouble, Light the Menorah published by PSS, and The Great Reindeer Rebellion published by Sterling (a wonderful review of it here by fellow illustrator Kathy Weller..thank you, Kathy!)

-My baby gift card design for Target is now in stores. Had to keep this quiet till now, which was hard to do!

-Participated in Surtex. So grateful to have had the opportunity to experience doing a trade show.

-Partnership with I {heart} Papers to produce my own stamping line.

-And some how in between all of that, I got married and moved out of NYC to a completely new place in which I've never been to or know anyone.

-New place gave me my very own room as my studio = dream come true :-)

Some Eureka moments/lessons learned for this year:

Looking back at this year, I realized I was all over the place with where I wanted to take my work. I spent a good chunk of the time working on projects or portfolio pieces for industries I really have no interest in. So why was I doing it? I'm not sure. I got into the mentality that I must diversify my income and look for other industries that I can do work for. Which I still think is smart, but creatively I wasn't enjoying some of it. But I pushed on, like I needed to prove something to myself. In the end, I feel I spread myself way too thin, forgetting what I was passionate about- which is story telling and creating amazing children's books.

Perhaps the computer sometimes is way too easy to come up with quick, slick, images that can easily impress. I feel like I haven't spent a good amount of time on one amazing piece...but rather, a bunch of quick ones where I can get easy, instant gratifications. Thank goodness for some amazing illustrators out there that inspires me...I'm reminded again that what I want to do is Good Work. (thanks to Tara Lazar, I was invited to pick my top 3 picture books of 2009, check it out here. Some of my inspirations!)

Its time for me to work on more personal projects rather than come up with images which I think can be used in multiple places. Business wise it might be smart, but creatively, it is very stifling to me. The funny thing is, those personal projects of mine usually bring in work for me- work that I enjoy doing! What a concept!

So with that in mind, I'm going to come up with some fitting goals for 2010. I would love to hear some of yours. Much success and creativity to all this coming new year!

Wow, what a great year you had. I completely relate to this post - it is great that your direction is becoming clearer - keep moving towards what inspires you and success will follow - not of course just $$ success, but loving what you do more importantly. Congrats on all your achievements in 2009 and I think 2010 is going to be even richer.

Doodlestreet said, on 12/31/2009 8:18:00 AM

Very good post here...I 'so get' what you said in all of it. Doing what you love most...man, ain't it the truth.

I'm wishing good things your way this coming year...it's going to be a great one!

Barbara Johansen Newman said, on 12/31/2009 8:31:00 AM

Jannie, I feel like I am in the same boat as you--torn between a lot of lovers, lovers being all the different art directions I want to move in: writing and illustrating books, fine art, licensing. My problem is that I want to do all of them and there are not enough hours in a day.

I am waiting for my epiphany moment or what I call "serendipity wind," to blow me in the right direction. Maybe the scroll saw for Xmas just did that...;-)

Kathy Weller said, on 12/31/2009 8:38:00 AM

Oh my gosh Jannie, I almost could have written that first paragraph under "Eureka moment" myself. That is how closely I identify with your own struggle. You said it girlfriend now let's FOCUS on what we LOVE to do!!! PERIOD!!! :)

I always say/ think that we are BEST at what we love TO DO best. Sometimes, I don't follow my own advice and, like you, try a bunch else in the name of "diversification" and "multiple income streams". It's so funny, because we always have to go around the WORLD to get back to our creative home base, where we are doing our true passion. It's like we have to make sure there isn't something BETTER out there that we are missing the boat on. I think YOU are past that now!! :) (Big congratulations, because the road is hard, huh?!) I recently made a similar discovery too, for myself. And it feels absolutely GREAT.
(My personal mantra: Children's and Art Licensing. And that is IT!!! No if's and's or butts about it! :))

Hey, we are going to KICK MAJOR BUTT in 2010!! YES!!!

Lisa M Griffin said, on 12/31/2009 12:30:00 PM

What a great year for you! Here's to the continued creative momentum into 2010. Happy New Year!

roz said, on 12/31/2009 3:45:00 PM

LOVED reading about your year. Many congratulations on all the successes and more importantly for finding yourself. Sometimes it just takes spreading yourself all over to see what really "fits".
Anyway, I'm really looking forward to seeing what the future holds for you this year and seeing more of your incredible illustrations!
HEY- also a big congrats on the TARGET gift card. I will have to go find it, how cool is that!!!

lil kim said, on 1/1/2010 12:04:00 AM

What a great year Jannie - congratulations to you!!

I think your idea of working on personal projects that YOU enjoy rather than will be 'marketable' is a good one. I always ascribe to the notion that if you do good work (which you do!) then it is only a matter of time before it finds its place. And it means you will be a much happier illustrator and that will show through in your work, so everyone wins!!!

all the best for 2010 and beyond my creative friend.... :-)

Jannie aka Chickengirl said, on 1/1/2010 10:00:00 AM

Thank you for everyone's support! I need it and hopefully I won't side track again!!

Wishing you all a creatively kick butt 2010!! :-)

miremari said, on 1/2/2010 4:36:00 AM

wishes for creativity and love :)
I think our job is always amazing, and we are so lucky for this!
congrats for all your fab illustrations!!

crazylady said, on 1/2/2010 10:37:00 AM

Wow, you certainly have been busy since I last checked! Target and all those books published!..that's awesome! Do you work with a Rep, or do you do all self-promoting?

Jannie aka Chickengirl said, on 1/2/2010 11:08:00 AM

Hi Crazylady! I do have a rep although I try to self-promote as well. Double attack!! :-)

JacketFlap tags:  autumn, new year resolutions, N M Browne, Add a tag

For reasons that aren’t entirely clear, I live more by the academic year than the calendar one. The first hint of autumn in the air, the chill winds, the shortening days and I get an unseasonal burst of energy, a desire to make new resolutions, dye my hair some unnatural shade of russet and buy a new pair of glossy, conker-coloured boots.
This year my first and most significant resolution is to enjoy what I do. No longer will I angst over the demise of the mid list or whinge about the parlous state of sales. I refuse to be envious of top sellers or bitter when my name is absent from short lists. I am going to enjoy the moments when I have a story I want to tell and the leisure to tell it. Autumn is always a reminder that things will probably get worse; colder, bleaker, darker so I am going to enjoy the last lingering golden days of sunshine and have fun.
Secondly, I am going to stop making crazy resolutions (I’m not including the above resolution in that category whatever you might think.) I know I’m not going to be up and dressed and working first thing in the morning. I am rubbish in the mornings and my brain does not come on line until significant amounts of caffeine have been imbibed, until I have listened to the Today programme, skimmed the paper and surfed the net. I am very unlikely to write a thousand words every day – I never have so why should this year be different? I am going to write what I can when I can and wherever I can and not beat myself up when the quality is a little bit dodgy either.
Thirdly, I am going to read more teenage fiction and enjoy the skill and talent of my fellow writers. I am going to be glad to be living in an age when such good books are available instead of depressed by the quality and quantity of ‘the competition.’ I am going to be pleased when my books are in stock, not cross when they aren’t. I am going to smile benignly when people ask me whether I’ve ever been published or thought of writing a real book - for adults. I am going to laugh in a warm, friendly and entirely non hostile way when someone asks if I’m going to be the next JK Rowling. In short I am going to be a veritable peri- menopausal Pollyanna. I think I’ll be happier.
Watch this space...

Oh dear, so far to fall.....

Michael Malone said, on 9/15/2009 2:33:00 AM

here's to pollyannas everywhere. I'm certain it will all work well for you.

Charlie Butler said, on 9/15/2009 3:31:00 AM

That picture of Pollyanna is quite creepy! Makes me think of Village of the Damned...

But I applaud the sanity of your resolutions, and good luck!

Anne Rooney said, on 9/15/2009 3:35:00 AM

I have been quite good at all these things in the past (I have bad years, but generally I'm ridiculously optimistic and cheerful). It has its downside. The phrase my mother used most frequently through my childhood was 'wipe that inane grin off your face, child' and ever since people have assumed I'm shallow, naive, unambitious or just stupid. There is no intellectual capital in being cheerful or pleased with what you have. How will the world change if we are complacent and pleased with what we have? How can you be happy when disaster x is about to happen/already happening?

I'm NOT saying don't follow these resolutions - just be prepared for the criticism or disbelief. Arm yourself with some smart-ass responses. And then smile benignly and tolerantly, because they - poor things - are destined to spend their life in miserable whingeing.

Gillian Philip said, on 9/15/2009 4:09:00 AM

I resolve I will selectively cherrypick your resolutions, and go particularly for that one about not stressing about failing to start work at 6am when there's the Today prog to listen to, coffee to be drunk and Facebook to be er, faced.

Dead right, Charlie, that is a Midwich Cuckoo, and I should know because I have two of my own.

Lucy Coats said, on 9/15/2009 4:39:00 AM

I applaud you, Nicky. Don't beat yourself up for only doing what comes most naturally AFTER caffeine. An excellent and timely reminder to do some things you want (rather than things you ought) for a change. Go forth and be Pollyanna!

Katherine Langrish said, on 9/15/2009 4:57:00 AM

Thanks, Nicky! And I NEVER manage a 1000 words a day either. The very idea!

Have you looked back on your blog posts in 2008? Its very interesting to see what happened in a span of a year. Thanks to Anette over at our Illustration for kids forum for suggesting this great topic: "What are you most proud of in 2008?"

Highlights of my year:
-Attending the SCBWI winter conference in February.

-Meeting many blog friends in person!!! Hello Alicia, Kim, Leeza, Courtney, Gina, Deborah, Edrian, and fellow Illustration for kids member Jenn!

-Seeing my book, The Haunted Ghoul Bus at Barnes and Nobles front and center. Truly a dream come true.

-My Scholastic's "I'm Reading Now!" series coming out, seeing it in the book club catalog. I was working on this non-stop for a year. So good to see the fruits of my labor!

-Doing a signing at the Friends of lulu/MoCCA table at the NY ComicCon. I felt so cool for an hour...hehe!

-Attending my rep, MB artists' party and meeting so many clients and fellow artists. Such a treat for a freelancer that works from home!

-Getting many interesting and full filling projects, which I can't talk about now, but many will be out in 2009.

I can't mention highlights of this year without also mentioning about getting engaged. :-) Also, the trip to France and San Francisco was also wonderful. I love traveling.

My goals for 2009:
I'm going to keep it short this year....since there are lot of things that will be going on for me personally.

I'm planning to just CREATE.
-write and illustrate- finish one dummy book
-create artwork for licensing/products/greeting cards
-re-vamp and update my website

Happy new year to you all! What are some of your highlights of 08 and goals for 09? I would love to hear about it.

JacketFlap tags:  new year resolutions, the sea, southern hemisphere, bonfires, Add a tag

I’m sitting here with sand on my feet, salt on my skin and the sound of the waves in my ears. Not exactly: ‘Break, break break on thy cold grey stones, oh sea!’ because I’m in the southern hemisphere with temperatures soaring in the 30’s, the sand like powder and burning hot. With the crisp sparkle of a dark London afternoon extremely far away, I'm contemplating the fact that it’s the 30th December. It brings on thoughts of past Old Years’ Eves and how I celebrated them when I was the age of the hordes of 35 year-olds staying in my house right now (11 in all!).

Countless Old Years’ Eves were celebrated on chilly beaches sprawled around a bonfire watching the sun come up. (Odd how we considered ourselves children of the 60’s… Mary Quant, marijuana and all that… yet we were in fact a conservative carry-over from the 50’s morals and modesty.) And it seems the same applies today... at least here in the southern hemisphere. The sun coming up on a new year is still celebrated on the beach with a bonfire.

What is it about watching a New Year’s sun pop over the horizon that is any different to watching the sun come up on a normal day? The wide horisons of sea and sky seem to mute the moment while at the same time the sea's energy is tangible. We convince ourselves it’s different. Fresh starts. New potentials. In a way like the unwritten page or screen staring back blankly waiting for you to make the first mark every morning. Anything is possible if you can only make the right mark. There’s a certain fragility to the moment… try too hard and you might fail. But at the same time there’s an energy to start fresh. To capture something magical. It's a moment on the cusp, when you move from the old to the new.

So when I return to London and unpack my suitcase and discover little gritty pockets of sand caught in hems and seams, and the smell of the sea still clinging damply to an old pair of jeans, hopefully I'll be galvanised by the same sense of calm energy when I face a new page. A sort of magical process.

And on the beach at 5.30 am this morning with a few dolphins surfing the waves as the sun came up, (my hordes of 35 year olds still fast asleep) everything seemed magical!

As always, Dianne, you take us away to a place of beauty and magic with your writing. Your 5.30 sunrise with dolphins seems a world away from the hesitant, hazy sun on wet green fields and bare fragile trees which I am currently looking out on. Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, Dianne to you and all the others who read and write on this blog! Lovely to hear about warmer climes....
