Angie Karcher | Cathy C. Hall Writes

I’m starting May with a big shout out to Rhyme Revolution!

I love this month long celebration of rhyme, even if I don’t really write that much rhyme. The thing is, I LOVE rhyme, I love learning the tricks of the rhyme trade from excellent rhymers/authors, and I just love being a part of Angie Karcher’s community.

You will, too, even though, yes, it’s a little late for you to win in the giveaways BUT it’s not too late for you to be a winner! Angie has tons of opportunities available if you want to improve your mad rhyming skills, so zip over to the fun stuff information and join up with her!

(And P.S. I’ve taken a class from Angie and she’s the bomb diggity as Youngest Junior Hall would say. Not sure what that means when he says it, but when I say it, it means you’ll get your money’s worth and more!)

This month–or at least after all the SCBWI doings–I caught up with a Writing in Rhyme class I won from Angie Karcher. Goodness, Angie really knows her stuff!

I, on the other hand, am not exactly a whiz at writing rhyme (though I like to try). I only have one picture book that’s in rhyme but I learned a whole bunch of stuff to make it better and my project for next month is to take that manuscript and polish it till it shines like a…a…well, see? I need a little work on imagery and such.

And maybe you’re interested in spiffing up a rhyming picture book. Or maybe you’re just interested in rhyming poetry. Boy, have I got a deal for you!

Technically, it’s not my deal. It’s Angie Karcher’s. Every April, she hosts RhyPiBoMo which is short for Rhyming Picture Book Month and holy moly (see what I did there?), you are not going to believe all the wonderful guest bloggers she’s scheduled!

Plus, she has all kinds of fun events and doings over there. And it’s ALL free! But mostly, I guarantee that you’ll learn a TON about rhyming picture books. So run like a Tasmanian Devil (see? I’m getting smarter already!) and register for RhyPiBoMo! (See you there!)
