I recently started my new job as guidance counselor at McLouth Middle/High School. No, it has nothing to do with the latest Triangulation anthology, but I'll get to that. Trust me.
Enrollment took place last Thursday night and Friday morning. I saw what felt like hundreds of parents and students in a small amount of time (it was probably only a few dozen, but the feeling was there). I changed schedules, enrolled new kiddos, and was just there for a few to vent.
I don't remember if I've ever blogged about "the well" before, but as I'm nearing 1,000 posts, I don't remember a lot I've blogged about. The well, the deep place inside a person in which they can feel emotion, has been my greatest ally in the last eight months.
When I coached forensics, I talked to my team about the emotional battery inside all of us--the well--and how they could draw from that to make their performances work. I guess I was teaching method acting; it's just the language which spoke to me. This year, one senior placed 5th at state in serious solo acting, the highest placement in years. His piece, "Griefstruck" by J.J. Jonas, involved a tragic car accident which wiped out a young man's entire family. The morning of the performance, I looked at my student and asked, "Do you need any motivation?"
We went there. He knew. I knew. State forensics came only a month after Aimee's death.
My biggest ally in healing--and not only healing from Aimee's suicide, but her illness and struggles over the past eight years--has been the well. Mine's pretty deep, and I don't mind drawing from it. It helps me hear other people in hurt. It helps me work with teenagers. In helps me be there for my own kids, even when I'm exhausted and stretched too thin. It helps me enjoy life, too. It helps me love.
Yes. The well is deep.
Triangulation: Morning After is now available. It's the fourth Triangulation book in which I've managed to land a story, and I thank Stephen Ramey and the whole crew. "Scar Tissue Wings" is as much about Max's stint in Children's Mercy last December as it is about a man who cannot die in a world which already has. The well helps me go there. Triangulation has always been about telling the truth even with a strange spin. Some of my favorite stories have been graced to find themselves in its pages: "Dancing Lessons," "The Good Daughter," "The World in Rubber, Soft and Malleable," and now "Scar Tissue Wings." This may be the last year for the anthology because the price of producing it has stretched limited resources too far. Please buy a copy so future writers can find a venue for their truths.

Hurray! Baby Can Bounce!, my new baby book and the sequel to Baby Goes Baaaaa! is now out.
The bold baby animal illustrations are designed specifically to catch the eye of babies from 1- 3 yrs, but I've worked hard to try and make sure that both books are also a funny read for the poor parents (some baby books can be a little basic in content, so gruelling on the 50th repetition...). I wanted mine to be fun to read aloud and easy to share with baby again and again.
I got the idea for Baby Goes Baaaaa! from noticing that many of my friend's baby's loved making animal noises. I knew that phonics was very important for early language development and learning, so created a book to help readers practise the all the different sounds that all babies enjoy: educational and fun!

John was doing our weekly shopping expedition to our local Sainsburies last week, while I was getting on with my the roughs for my new book. I was sketching away when the phone rang. "Guess what I'm looking at?" said John. "Baby Goes Baaaaa!" I got him to take this pic on his mobile:  It's the first copy of Baby Goes Baaaaa! we've spotted in the shops: that first one is always a bit of a thrill. Especially when it's in Sainsburies, as this is the first time we've ever come across one of mine in a supermarket. Egmont did tell me they'd taken a load, but it's not the same as seeing it there with your own eyes (well, with John's eyes anyway)! see more of my work at www.lynnechapman.co.uk

 How to Write Tight - Self-Editing Tips to Make Your Manuscript Ready For Publicationby Suzanne LieuranceAs writers, we hear it all the time. We need to "write tight", which just means we need to trim all the flab from our manuscripts and make every word count. Here are some self-editing tips that will help you "write tight" and take your manuscripts from flabby to fit for publication in no time! 1. Avoid a lot of back story - information about the POV character's history and background. Weave all this into the story instead of loading the manuscript down with too many sentences or paragraphs of straight narrative before the action begins. 2. Simplify your sentences wherever possible. Watch for redundant or unnecessary phrases. As writers, we need to "show, not tell" as often as possible. Yet, some writers tend to show and then tell the same information, which is redundant. Watch out for this in your manuscripts. Also, look for the redundant phrases below and others like them. Stand up = stand Sit down = sit Turned around = turned He thought to himself = He thought She shrugged her shoulders = she shrugged She whispered softly = she whispered He nodded his head = he nodded 3. Avoid adverbs for the most part. Use strong, descriptive verbs instead. Flabby: She smiled slightly at the photographer. Fit: She grinned at the photographer. 4. Avoid using the same word over and over in a paragraph. Go back and reread each sentence. Have you repeated the same word several times within a single sentence or paragraph? If so, substitute another word with the same meaning. 5. Don't overuse names. Beginning writers tend to have the characters address each other by name too often. When you speak to a friend, you don't constantly say his name. Don't have your characters do this either. It doesn't ring true, and it draws the reader OUT of the story. 6. Limit the description in a dialogue tag. Again, beginning writers tend to load down the dialogue tags (the "he said, she said" part of the dialogue) with too many details. If you must describe what a character is doing AS he says something, put that information in a separate sentence, not in the dialogue tag. And keep it short. 7. Avoid participle phrases - particularly at the beginning of sentences. Participle phrases end in the letters -ing. Go back over every page of your manuscript and circle the places where you've started a sentence with a participle phrase. If your manuscript is loaded down with participle phrases it tends to distract the reader and pull him out of the story. 8. No idle chit-chat. Be sure the dialogue advances the storyline. Readers don't need to hear the characters talking about anything that doesn't somehow relate directly to what's happened so far or what will happen next or later in the story. 9. Minimize use of the passive voice. Here's an example of passive voice: The ball was hit by Susan. Here's the same information in active voice: Susan hit the ball. 10. Use active, descriptive verbs. Flabby: I was the one who made the decision to go home. Fit: I decided to go home. Strengthen weak verbs. You can usually eliminate was and were by replacing them with stronger, more descriptive verbs. Usually, was and were precede an -ing word, and you can change the -ing word to make it stronger. Flabby:He was talking to my brot

 Yes, today is the day (hurrah!) when all you good people can rush out to your local booksellers and demand multiple copies of my newest book, Baby Goes Baaaaa!  The book is stuffed full of sounds that baby will recognise and can easily make. Making these early sounds with a baby is fundamental to early language development, but the funny illustrations of various cute and silly animal characters romping through the book will hopefully make it a fun experience to share and explore together, while the learning happens behind the scenes.  Although the pictures here are square edged, the actual book has gently rounded corners to make it baby-friendly, plus it's fully laminated (thanks Egmont), to allow for enthusiastic licking and sucking!

Whenever you have a new book published, your contract allows you a number of free copies. How many you get depends on how generous (or mean!) the publisher is, but generally it seems to be about 10 copies.  The author's copies usually arrive a little in advance of the books hitting the shops. Baby Goes Baaaaa! is coming out next month, so I got home from a day at Prospect Hill Infants School in Worksop, to find a parcel waiting for me. It's so exciting to see the final, actual item, all shiny and colourful and real! And of course, it's especially thrilling when the books are entirely mine: when I've created both the text and the illustrations. You can pre-order copies of Baby Goes Baaaaa! and it's sister Baby Can Bounce! (due out in July) from Amazon.  If you are interested in how children's books are developed, you can follow the progress of both these books, starting with my earliest sketches, through the production and submission of roughs and then the pastel artwork, 5 Comments on Baby Goes Baaaaa! - Author Copies, last added: 3/7/2012

Blog: gael writer (Login to Add to MyJacketFlap) JacketFlap tags: process, publication, Don Lee, Writers Chronicle, Add a tag
The writer, Don Lee, describes a common chain of thought and events accompanying publication, as told in his interview by Jeanie Chung (Oct./Nov. 2011,Writers Chronicle): "Maybe this will be big. And most of the time, it's not big. Most of the time, it goes all right. You get some nice reviews, maybe some not so nice reviews, and you sell a few copies, or not, and you move on. It's just a little blip. The purpose for your writing cannot be for that moment of publication. It has to be about writing the book itself." It's a good, sobering reflection. It has to be about wanting to spend time alone with a particular exploration of thoughts and feelings, all channeled through a handful of characters and places dragged up from a subconscious mind. Sometimes it may be to explore past experience from other viewpoints, or to push past outcomes in different directions, or along new paths, and see what happens next. Most of the time, if we see our way through to finishing a manuscript, we hope to benefit by an enrichment of our conscious and subconscious being. Publication might only be a potential, added bonus. As Lee's interviewer, Chung, noticed about a Lee character's commitment to making a huge sculpture that can never be exhibited and might not necessarily even be 'art.' For him, Chung says, it was all about the process: "In some ways, (the character, Lyndon) may be advocating more of a workmanlike approach. Like it's your day job; whatever you do for a living, most people aren't working toward one big moment. It's just what you do every day." Lee agrees, as might many other writers. A project one works on as an engineer is not typically viewed as heading toward any one big moment; it's the day job and we do the best we can at that stage in our career. In a related way, the fiction we write outside the normal day job doesn't have to be aimed at a one big moment, e.g., publication, with blockbuster sales; we do what satisfies the creative impulse best. Like Lyndon, maybe it's just engaging in the process.

Animal Cracker made it to the Editor's Desk on Harper Collins's Authonomy site. Number three no less! This means that some time within the next two months a real live Harper Collins editor will review the book and consider it for publication.

Remember the new project I pitched to my editor at Gullane just before Christmas? When I laid all my sketch sheets out on her desk, I was thrilled by how much she laughed (in a good way, fortunately). She said she really liked the idea and did seem genuinely keen, so it all looked very positive. But...  ...I have been waiting all this time for a verdict on whether the book is to go ahead. To be honest, I was starting to resign myself to the inevitable rejection. Then early last week I got an email: I only had to hold my breath for one more week, because this week my book would be going before an acquisitions meeting at Gullane. All new project ideas need to be taken to an acquisitions meeting: it's there that final decisions are made about which books will happen and which will bite the dust. Unfortunately, I've been told on at least two previous occasions that this project was scheduled for the next meeting, but it keeps getting put back. But this time it actually happened. In fact, it was TODAY (gulp). I have been trying hard not to think about it too much and get on with Baby Goes Baaaaa!, but at 5pm I got a phone call from the editor to let me know that the answer is... YES!!! There are still all the contract negotiations to get through, but, all things being equal, it will go ahead, so celebrations are definitely in order. HURRAY!! see more of my work at www.lynnechapman.co.uk

This post originally ran July 23, 2010 For the last three weeks, I've been plugging away at my author questionnaire. The packet I received started with a note from my editor which included this: What you tell us here will serve as the foundation of our marketing, sales, subsidiary rights, and publicity efforts for your book, so your responses are very important. I was grateful to have spent some time last winter thinking through things like my target audience, comp. titles, and institutions/organizations that might be interested in MAY B. (such as prairie museums). It's surprising to find out how interesting this aspect of publishing is to me. I never expected to find promotion fun, but I'm telling you, there is something very satisfying about discovering a person or organization that might connect with your book. Think matchmaking and treasure hunting combined.

Yes, it's true. I've posted my comic novel, Animal Cracker, on a site owned by Harper Collins called Authonomy. Those books judged the most popular (by being "backed" by readers) actually have a shot at publication by Harper Collins.

Awesome Caroline.
I love it, Caroline! Such thoughtful answers. I especially loved the one for, "would you read my work?" So honest and yet so kind. I'm glad I was lucky enough to meet you when you were still establishing that circle. :)
Hugs!
So glad to have you in my circle, Natalie. xo
It's a great FAQ page! Very succinct and yet packed with information. I like it!
