For the Love of the (picture of the) Couch

Art by Hannah Alexander

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you’ve already read my essay about how I love my couch. In January, Little Rock Family printed that essay in their “Family Chatter” section, accompanied by the art above. While I wish I had put a little more polish on the essay, I am madly in love with this image. I’ve never met Hannah Alexander, but somehow she looked into my mind’s eye and drew it. The only thing she missed was the long curly hair on that flying kid. In real life, she looks like this:

So, if you didn’t already read the essay, or if you just want to see how it looks accompanied by a graphic representation, you can hop over to my original essay post, called “For the Love of the Couch”.

And for my fellow aspiring writers: consider submitting an essay for consideration to Little Rock Family‘s “Family Chatter” section. It was the first place I was ever published as a mommy-writer. It’s a nice, parameter-free place to begin your addiction to seeing your words in print. You can email essays to jpyron at abpg (dot) com.
