I just submitted my entry for the #KidlitChuckleChallenge. I made myself laugh, so that's a win no matter what the results of the contest.😀 Thanks to the authors that set this up!

Well, I have to admit to being disappointed that my MS did not make the cut for #PBParty. I reread my MS this morning and found one word change to make. I think my MS is the best I can make it right now. So, I will soldier on. It will be on bookshelves one day. Perseverance!

While I wait (somewhat impatiently) for #PBParty results, I want to say thank you to all of the folks that make this contest happen. I have a small inkling of what it must take to put this on, and I'm really grateful to all of the volunteers.

I was chatting last night with someone in a picture book critique group who wasn't familiar with Bill Peet's work. He is one of my all time favorite PB authors (and illustrators). I love reading and creating new picture books, but I think it's important to promote the great work of the past.

I entered #PBParty yesterday. It's gratifying to know that I have made a great deal of progress since I submitted last year. Regardless of the outcome, I am pleased with the work I entered this year.
