A Silver Lining at the Magic Teapot

A Silver Lining at the Magic Teapot

Good morning or evening depending on where you are in the world.

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr. and John Archambault

"Do picture books even have plots?" My husband asked me this after I had finished outlining a picture book in an attempt to learn how to improve plots in my own stories. The author of the writing book wherein I found the activity seems to think they do. To complete her exercise, I had outlined Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr. and John Archambault which I had bought at Nebrask'as Plum Creek Literacy Festival.…

Poetry: Medium of Thorough Delight...

Poetry is music through words. In a different century I'd be a published poet. Sometimes I just cannot help myself. I sit to write a passage and I end up writing verse. It happens either when I'm writing, or reading, and often, there is no discernable connection between the inspiration and the result.

I was working on an idea for a novel the other day; not SOFT AND DEADLY SHE COMES, the one I should be working on -- but something that came to me as a result of a…
