Ahhh Tim is a gentleman...he doesn't tie very tight knots.....laugh

How was your day? I babysat for 2 grandkids....nothing too exciting...rained some...nice evening now.

Glad to hear ithappy My day was the sameold, same old. Worked on my book. Was in my critique group for a while. Homemaker was in this AM. Sounds boring, huh? How old are the grandkids?



I have 10, ages 1 1/2 to 17

What is your book about? I LOVE books, course all the millions I have are for kids. I am a teacher.

I also review books. I review both children's books & adults books (with a few exceptions).


Must be a very interesting lifestyle.

I write for kids & this is my 1st attempt at a book. It's about moving with a religious twist to it.



Leaving their friends? Books with themes are very usful when doing units or if a child has a problem...books help to mak eit come alive and they understand better. Good for you! Hope it goes well. Do you illustrate as well?

Nope can't draw a straight line. Wish I could. It's the publishers job to line you up with an artist.

I think so but I've wanted to write since I was in elementary school. A friend introduced me to reviewing 2 years ago & I just fell in love with it! I kind of fell into running my critique group.

I'm already looking forward to fall. Not the winter though, especially if it's like the one we had last year!

Was it children's mags that you wrote for? Which ones? I have taught everything from preschool through 5th grade. My favorite and most years spent in is Kindergarten...love that age...I can be as silly as I want and they don't care...keeps me young at heart.

I've been published a few times in e-zines. I'm still trying to crack the mag market. They're hard to get into. Especially Highlights!

My latest was for a new ezine that called for submissions for uplifting stories for kids with chronic illnesses. So, I wrote about Pediatric MS & how you don't have to stop what you love to do. flowerforyou

AH, Highlights...the old standard. I remember reading that when I was young!! There are a lot of children's magazines out there, just keep trying. Do you prefer stories to articles?

You mean non-fiction to fiction? I love doing either, expecially the ones that I have to research. I'm a very curious person! I wrote a historical fiction (true) & put a lot of time into it. The historical society of MA emailed me recently that they just found out the real ages of the girls so now I have to re-write the whole thing from picture book age to young adult which means a lot more research!

You would probably love to write stories for the American Girls series then. Love those books.

That's when it gets stinking hot here too...right before the rain, but if it keeps raining....cools it off, then the heat returns.
