A few years ago, a budding writer emailed me looking for advice on how to break into the profession.
"Do you think the world has room for one more writer?" he asked.
Let me tell you what I told him.

Writing for Children?
Like in adult books, kids books need a compelling storyline to keep their attention. Remember, the little guy's don't have the same patience as an adult to weave through chapter after chapter to find out what the book is about, or when the action is going to begin, or find out who the character is.
It's the emotional connection to characters that thrill and excite them, stepping into their shoes and pretending they are they hero or heroine.

If you haven't yet, check out the post below about the Paper War.
Thanks,

Paper War
I've been waging a war on paper the last few days. So far, paper is winning. The more I clean up, the more of it I find. The problem is, for much of it, I feel an obligation to do a thorough examination and decide whether or not it's worth keeping.The mailperson is my enemy. He, sometimes she, keeps leaving more paper in my mail box. I'm not talking about my Christmas cards, which I cherish, but all the other stuff dropped off for me to sort out. At times it's torture to come home and see the new pile the DH has set on the kitchen table.
I've discovered tons of magazines over a year old. They were trying to hide in a magazine holder on the side of the couch, but not doing a good job of it, since they were spilling over. Of course, I decided to check the headings on the covers to see if some of the information inside might prove valuable. Wouldn't you know it, I was right. Many articles seemed to good to give up.
I've already mentioned here before about how I also have a compulsion to print out emails that seem important to me. The result is I have lots of important pieces of paper. When there's an abundance, which is the most important? And, where's the one I really need? It is a quandary.
What about you? Is paper your enemy? Are you also waging a war against it? Who is winning?
Library Displays - See Make Mine Mystery Monday

Rascal is sleeping right now. When she gets up, you'll know about it.
When RASCAL wakes up, you'll hear from her and/or her Mom - that would be me, Morgan Mandel.

I've recently begun a Teen Mentorship yahoo group with several experienced writers on board to help our teens as they register and join.
And now I need to begin setting up the Muse Online Writers Conference to take place in October. Thank god I'm a woman and can multi-task. :)
We just hosted a one day affair with Dindy Robinson, publisher of Swimming Kangaroo Books and her authors and had a great time reading their excerpts and getting to know one another.
Congratulations on your book contracts. You are one busy lady. Welcome to Book Place. I hope you have a great time here & be sure to tell all your friends about us.
