1. Crossing the PiBoIdMo Finish Line!

I did it!





I crossed the finish line!

My First Marathon- The 2006 Honolulu Marathon


No, not another marathon.



Better.



I completed Tara Lazar's annual PiBoIdMo (Picture Book Idea Month) with not 30, but 32 ideas!







Woot!





Winnah, winnah, SUSHI dinnah!



I love sushi. 


Coming up with ideas wasn't easy. I splashed in puddles, tumbled through a pile of leaves, and slid down slides, narrower than my hips to find my ideas.

What does it mean to cross the finish line? You can read about my first marathon and find out how that transformed me. But that's a different story.

Completing the PiBoIdMo challange means I belong to a select group of writers, armed with 30 ideas. But crossing the finish line doesn't end there. The real challenge is to transform the ideas into completed stories. 



Who is ready for the next challenge?
