The lovely thing about the internet, and blogging in particular, is that it leads you down a wonderful path of discovery. This is also the dangerous part. When to stop! I found a cool ezine called Small Magazine. It's full of creative stuff, incredible photography, and some of the most beautiful children I've ever seen, except for my own kids, of course. From there I wandered off to new places. One of these was The Small Object by artist Sarah Neuburger, where I found the coolest accessory for the thumb wrestling crowd--thumb wrestling championship belts! Can you imagine?
Writing for Children:
I also wanted to mention Write4Kids. It's a great writing resource.
I'm very excited about Nancy Sanders' blog. She's doing a series called Book in a Month Club, as in actually writing the whole darn thing in one month!
International Illustrators:
I've been traveling via the internet this week and found some wonderful blogs, most of which are in Spanish. Some are in English, also. Looks like I need to learn a new language.
Claudia Degliuomini
Marta Chicote Juiz
Merce Lopez
Marlowa
Cara Carmina
And last, but not least, I discovered the lovely site of Amanda Soule. She's written a book called, The Creative Family. Her blog is so enjoyable and heartwarming and inspiring.

I'm a totally crazy person. I am working on one adult mystery, one YA thriller, and one middle-grade humorous book.
At the same time.
And I need to know how you would write out the sound an armpit fart makes. You know, that skill that only boys know.
Would it be something alone the lines of "Fwlrp"?
Or....
Bonus points for guessing which book this belongs in.
