Change Up

My life has changed up so it's time for the blog to change up too. Since I'm doing this breakfast cafe thing on Saturdays and Sundays it doesn't always work out for me to get the Monster List of Picture Book Agents lising up. No, I don't usually get them done ahead of time! I'm a deadliner for sure. But when the 25th falls on the weekend, that is a problem. So I'm thinking I'll change it up to the third Tuesday of the month. Hopefully I can actually keep track of when the third Tuesday of the month is! I will do my best, but I am not good with time zones and I'm afraid that may translate over to other things--like days. But this is the only scheduled post on my blog. I can do this!

Here's another change up; I think I'm ready to send my critique partner my first graphic novel style picture book! My boys really love the Traction Man books by Mini Grey (and I just learned that a new Traction Man story is coming out from this great review at Oops...Wrong Cookie. Yay!) Formatting a graphic novel is different than writing a regular manuscript for sure, but it's really fun once you get the hang of it. I learned about graphic novel formatting from a great post by Aaron Reynolds and Neil Numberman, creators of Joey Fly Private Eye on Tara Lazar's blog.



With writing, trying something new is never a bad thing!
