What an exciting month of writing November held for me. I chose to work on the prequel to Grandma’s Sock Drawer. As expected, the writing journey had its moments when ideas seemed stale, action stalled out, characters became boring. I’d say to myself, “You’re the one writing this thing! If you don’t like what’s happening, change it!”
Write a novel in a month? Crazy, right? The challenge is to write your story in 50,000 words, in just one month.
February 2020 comes to a close, with an extra day to finish the Picture Book Marathon. Once again, creating 26 picture books in a month was a rewarding exercise. Are they all prize winners? Of course not! But there might be a seed for a successful rewrite.
As I mentioned in an earlier blog post, I have run the Picture Book Marathon since 2010. But after 9 years of successfully completing the race, in 2018 I went off course for a very exciting reason.
Yay! February has arrived! Today I begin writing for my traditional Picture Book Marathon. In 2010 I stumbled upon a website that challenged picture book writers to create one picture book story, or at least one idea for one, for each of twenty-six days through February.
