Welcome Madison. Best of luck with your writing. I'm with you. MG is just the best!! I'm reading it and writing it too. I liked The Clackity by Lora Senf. Any MG recommendations for me?

The wedge salad is sort of like the self-check out. I still like going through the line and saying hi, how's your day going?

Oh gosh, I wish I had a good answer for this. I wonder if the C stands for conflict, since I know that one of the best ways to quicken the reader's pulse is to get some conflict in there.

I'm reading it too, just for my own joy.
