writing craft | Cathy C. Hall Writes

If I’m being honest,I could write a book on what not to do when it comes to writing children’s picture books. But I don’t have that kind of time, and besides, Ann Whitford Paul’s written a splendid book on exactly what to do when it comes to writing children’s books.

And it just so happens that I’m giving away Writing Picture Books over at Finders & Keepers. So, even if you’re not a regular reader over at F & K, if you’ve been mulling over a picture book idea, you might want to take a peek. Don’t let this opportunity pass you by, grasshopper.

‘Cause trust me when I tell you. That writing picture book thing? Waaaay harder than it looks.

Tomorrow, Elizabeth Kirschner, author of My Life as a Doll, will be visiting the Hall of Fame with a great What Not to Do.

Now, I know that’s a Wednesday feature, but Elizabeth’s coming Thursday, the 25th, so come back tomorrow and find out when you should NOT publish a memoir. And by the way, it’s not the reason that Cathy C. Hall is not publishing her memoir. To wit, I can barely remember yesterday, much less the first thirty years of my life.

I can remember when wonderful authors are touring at my blogs with terrific advice and newly published books…that’s what little sticky notes are for. Um, has anyone seen my little sticky note pad?
