Setting Yourself Up for Success

Well, writers, another year of PiBoIdMo is complete!  I have spring-loaded 40 new ideas into my idea bank!  THAT is something to celebrate!  If you missed out on this experience, you do not need to wait until next November to sign up again!  I challenge you to do this on your own this month...or any month!  How about every day?  The goal is to keep thinking of ideas for your new picture book manuscripts.  Some of my ideas are as small as a character or title name, a topic for a new story, and part of a plot.  Any idea will do!  I wish you luck as you continue to chase new ideas!

My plan is to parlay my ideas into the 12 x 12 Picture Book Challenge in 2014.  The two challenges naturally go hand in hand, and it worked beautifully for me this year, as well.  Registration opens Monday, January 5th!  It is like attending a writing conference, but more...submission privileges, educational posts for authors in the market, networking, resources, critiques, and a way to hold yourself accountable to continue writing new manuscripts each month. Be sure to check it out!

December is known as a month of giving, and although every day should officially qualify as a day to give, it tends to be on our minds even more as we approach Christmas. Therefore, you will have the privilege of hearing from TWO Mystery Authors this month!  Be sure to stop back on Tuesday, December 10th and Saturday, December 14th!  I love learning from other authors, don't you?

    As a children’s writer, and a teacher, my goal is to help you carry on.  Sometimes learning is challenging, so why go it alone?  Your journey will be more meaningful and comfortable with friends to share it with. Together, we'll get up close and personal with authors, illustrators, and the best of picture books.  If we work together, great things will follow!
