I should be writing! It’s my job. But sometimes I procrastinate. It’s amazing all the things that seem so compelling when I’m supposed to be working. So, thought I, maybe it’s better to procrastinate from writing by writing. Besides, writing things for the fun of it should be allowed!
I make my living as an author and illustrator of children’s books and adult non fiction on various natural history topics. I’m hoping this blog will allow me to exercise some of the demons those genres force me to keep at bay. For more about what I do, you can visit my website at www.johnhimmelman.com.
Bear in mind that, as the name of this blog implies, there will be much tongue-in-cheekedness.
I searched for a blog site that allowed people to add their own thoughts to my rants and musings, so please do.

Have just tried emailing you at jhimmel@comcast.net and got a delivery error message. I represent Cengage Learning and we are trying to send you 4 reprint permissions requests for volume 221 of Something About the Author. Can you please contact me via email or phone 248/636-2490 with a good email or fax to send you these requests?
Thank you.
Hi John,
I read about Parmalee Farm bird walk days to late. Missed it. Will you be doing it again? or any other walks?
Thanks
Kathy
Hi, Kathy – I will be doing one in May – spring migrants, wildflowers, amphibians…, and another one or two in the summer. You can check my website http://www.johnhimmelman.com or the Parmelee Farm site (google it) for more details. I haven’t picked the dates yet.
