Happy Poetry Friday! Today’s poem and a lesson plan on writing an envelope poem are at the bottom of this post.Don’t you hate it when somebody says that?I wrote thirty-six drafts of my newest picture book, NEW YEAR AT THE PIER—A Rosh Hashanah Story, before my editor said, “Yes! That’s it!”Thirty-six drafts. Oy. I’ll tell you about it sometime…So why do I keep writing picture books if I can't
I’ve followed the book trailer phenomenon for a couple years and wanted to do a post. In 2003, it was just beginning; in 2006, there was lots of experimenting; in 2009, it seems here to stay and writers should take it as a given that they need a book trailer for trade books. Here’s some of the best about book trailers from around the web.

Fabulous post, April!
Oh, dear. You did it again. You made me smile! :) Counting the days 'til your visit to RB Library. xx
Wonderful! I love that you let your story kidnap you. Awesome!
April,<br /><br />Great inspiration with a side dish of reality. Love it. <br /><br />Gotta go write my envelope poem...<br /><br />Hugs,<br />Barbara B
Thanks for a new "form" to try with my fourth grade writers!
Great post! Loved the title, so I HAD to read it. <br /><br />I get that writer's high, too. It is a fabulous feeling. I guess it's like a runner's high, but my body is designed more for writing than running, so I'll probably never know.<br /><br />Thanks for the fun, supportive, inspiring post.
