Have a great time with this tomorrow Renee! Wish I could join you REALLY! Bring me back a donkey or monkey or something.
BTW, are you really going to pen 30 pbs this month?! Go girl! You must have two down by now at least.
Thanks Dimity. I can't wait! I better take a few books with me-if Craig has time to sign them.
I've had a crack at Piboldmo a few years running. All I have to do is read a post everyday or every few days,and jot down anything I find inspiring or that I can work on. Even if it's just one word, it's still something to get the creative juices flowing.
It's worthwhile signing up and returning to the posts later because the authors and editors posting, know their picture books.
Sounds awesome. I've already tagged it for signing up next time round. Too late to delve much into it now but can't wait. I find this sort of discipline really focuses my aim to write and purge ideas.
