Tooting My Horn Tuesday: A Once Upon A Potty Story!

by

MSPlogotall250If there’s one thing I have a buttload of, it’s potty stories. And though I have three kidders, ALL the potty stories come from the same child. Namely, John, who was, if I may say so, not only aptly named but also quite imaginative in the bathroom arena.

Anyway, the bottom line to this endless stream of puns is that one of my potty stories was accepted for Monkey Star Press‘ upcoming potty anthology. And this particular anthology has been pushed to the top of the pile, so it will be published soon!

Wheeee!

And according to Lisa Nolan, who’s the force behind Monkey Star Press, she will be looking for other stories very soon. Like next week soon. So keep your eyes pee-led for the next call out.

(So I’m gonna go now. And when I say “go” I mean…yeah, never mind.)

Fishing For a Writing Gem? Try Publishing Talk Magazine

by

current magazineAs you know, when I’m not writing, I’m fishing. And this morning, noodling around, a writer friend pointed me in the direction of Publishing Talk Magazine.

What a gem! And this month’s issue, on children’s publishing, is FREE to download!

But wait all you non-children’s writers!

Just hold on a minute ’cause there’s way more to this magazine than children’s publishing articles. There’s information about Pinterest and how to use that in marketing your books. And a writing workshop on showing vs. telling that, let’s face it, is not just a children’s writing problem. And lots more advice and know-how that’s applicable to any kind of writing.

And you can noodle around the website that is jam-packed with writing stuff and even sign up for the newsletter so that when the next issue comes out–and is free–you’ll be right there, ready to reel in your writing gem.

Wheee! Isn’t fishing fun?
