Donna McDine, a wonderful children's author, has passed on the honor of the Brillante Weblog Promo- 2008 Award to me- can you believe it? I'm honored that she would take the time to recognize my blog (sniff, sniff). Donna's blog, Write What Inspires You, is an inspiration in itself and be sure to visit Donna at her website, Donna McDine. Donna also contributes to the Writing for Children Center where you can read many of her wonderful book reviews. Thanks, Donna!

My job as recipient of the award is to nominate other blogs that are inspiring. There are so many blogs on writing for children that you can spend all your time reading and not writing! But networking and learning from others is a great tool for writers and I've learned so much this way. There are just too many to list, but one site that I love to visit is Cynthea Liu's

Writingforchildrenandteens.com

I've said it before and I'll say it again: If you want to write for children, take the crash course now! There's so much valuable information - it can't be missed. You can also read about Authors on the Verge, and sign-up for free-tique rounds.
