We’re back from our July blogging vacation. I spent the past month attending two family weddings, tweaking my picture book manuscript, and began querying agents. As a result, I’ve been reading a LOT about the children’s book publishing industry and about writing in general. Here are several articles I’ve read and saved to my Pocket so I can reread them when needed. I hope you enjoy one or more of them!
- How NOT to Write a Picture Book
- How to Tell a Great Story
- The 4 Different Types of Conflict in Dialogue
- Tips for Finding Your Writing Groove Again
- Top 10 Tips for Writers
- When Can You Call Yourself a Writer?

I’ve been watching Jennifer-best wishes!
Just wanted to drop by to say I miss you all & hope to blog again soon! I have been writing a ton lately, but not on my blog. Instead, it has been time for me to use my writing to stand up for what is right. If you watch the coverage about the band, think of me and know I am writing up a storm. You all know me and what kind of person I am, and the band greatly influenced who I am.
I actually thought of you when the OSU band story broke.
You’ll have to let us know how all of that writing goes.
Thanks Stacey & Linda! Hope to be back blogging soon, & I’ll defintely have some thoughts to share about this experience!
It’s August….and that means the sights are a’changin’!

Who motivates you to read?

Thanks for sharing the resources! I look forward to reading them. Here is my slice from our vacation to Charleston. It turned out to be quite literary–and made me think of other literary vacations I’d like to take.

This is “reactive writing” – I read about a school where computers teach children for part of the day…and this blogpost just flowed out of me…

It has been a while since I have sliced, the largest gap since I began slicing years ago. It feels good to be back. I missed reading your stories.

I penned a letter to Summer since July turned the corner to August and left me thinking about fleeting time tonight. My post, A Slice of Time, can be found at http://beyondliteracylink.blogspot.com/2014/08/a-slice-of-time.html,
I have loved reading A Slice of Life from the sidelines since the beginning. At last with much support from awesome writers (@jarhartz, @franmcveigh, @clementkate @azajacks) here, is my first blog post. Thank you Two Writing Teachers for your beautiful work in support of a writerly teaching life!
