So Many Ideas...And A Turkey!

What a month this has been so far and it wouldn't have been so without PiBoIdMo! I mean, last year was tons of fun, but this year is even better! More ideas, wonderful posts, and fantastic people....just fantastic! I am amazed at the level of creativity I see each year that I participate. I love the support that this community shows for one another, and the encouragement I receive from them to keep going, going, going. The holiday season wouldn't be quite so great without PiBoIdMo. This much I know is true. It is a great feeling to be united in the same goal: one picture book idea a day, every day, for one whole month! The thing I love about it is that it is not overwhelming at all (unless you are doing NanoWriMo too, which is a WHOLE other story for another time).

It's doable. Doable! As doable as a stuffed belly at a Thanksgiving meal: scrumdiddlyumptios portions of WOW moments for the mind. AND you can be sure I'm partaking of those portions again next year! So here's to PiBoIdMo and the grand EVERYTHING that goes with it! I ♥ you PiBoIdMo for everything that you are and ever will be. My hat's off to you and everyone who makes it possible. My heart is full of gratitude for all of you. So no slacking yet. Keep coming up with those ideas, even if they are few, many, or right on the mark. Participate to your hearts content because it only comes once a year! Thank you Tara Lazar  for putting it all together!

My progress by day thirty: forty-nine ideas, four rough drafts, and a whole lotta fun! 

What's yours?

When You Wish Upon A Star

Several things going on today:

PiBoIdMo 2010 BEGINS! Yippee!

Also it is Open Mic Monday at the Query Tracker Blog (QTB) they are taking YOUR questions about "writing, editing, agents and the journey to publication." Don't miss out!

Masterpiece Monday! Down at Sergio Ruzzier's blog Hey, Rabbit! there all kinds of books just hopping about to be read. Lists of favorites from kidlit lovers all over the blogosphere compiled right on his blog! I figure it's time I compile my own list!

I've found some learn-to-read books for my kiddo--fun ones mind you--thanks to a tweet from the tweet vine! I'll share them with you! So here is the code name...Molly Coxe! Check her out, or at least her books! Here is a link with a list of her books!

Finally I've compiled a list of my favorite books! You should too. I'd love to see what your favorite PB are! Maybe later I'll compile similar lists for YA and MG books. I hope you'll share your favorites too! There are so many more I'm sure will become favorites as I begin to read them! So to all aspiring authors--keep writing!

These are my favorites, in no particular order (I couldn't stop at ten):
