It's a busy season!

It's a busy season - yes Christmas is just a month away, and that makes it doubly busy and exciting. But I am refering to both PiBoIdMo, SkADaMo happening this month and starting in January another favorite - PB Dummy Challenge which sounds like it will run similarly to how we did the Unofficial PB Dummy Challenge last year.

This morning on the PBDummy Crit FB page, Diandra Mae posted a great link to "3 Ways to Pace your Picture Book", which had links to some other very helpful posts for writers and illustrators, including "How to format a manuscript" - all great info I am going to need in the near future. So this is me, just leaving a few bread crumbs for myself and hopefully leading some other readers along the path, making it a little simpler for them as well.


(ps. Another little facinating gem was a link to a post about Sendak's PB Dummy which later turned into "Where the Wild Things Are"...and wow was the first dummy different from the end product!)

  1. Thanks, as always. So many good links here. 'Glad to see you moving forward in your career goals. I love your work and know good things are coming. Thanks for keeping the challenge alive this year. I missed my goal, but I am gearing up for 2014. Thanks again.

    1. Joanne, thank you for your kind words and encouragement. I really appreciate it. I missed completing my PB Dummy goal this year too, but thanks to the challenge I'm further down the path than I would have been otherwise. With the announcement of a 2014 challenge I am getting excited to finish it next spring. All the best, L.
