When I first discovered this challenge, I couldn’t imagine coming up with a book idea every day for a month. But something wonderful happened…my brain soon went into picture book mode and the ideas started flying.
I’ll admit, it was a little scary at first. Then an idea hit when I was showering. By the time I made it to my computer, it turned into one great idea and two possible companion books. Wahoo! Other ideas came to me while driving, walking my dog, and attempting to sleep. Some hit while reading stacks of picture books, checking out the list of 400+ Things That Kids Like and 79 Things Kids Don’t Like on Tara’s site, or watching children and animals. If I felt stuck, I’d force myself to type for five minutes without stopping. Then, I’d nix the thoughts too silly to use and play around with the others.
Sometimes, I could visualize the characters and potential plot arcs and jotted down the info in detail. Others were little more than a title and a short sentence or two. I’d love to say they were all incredible ideas…but I know some will never turn into manuscripts. I’m not even a tiny bit sad about those, because it feels wonderful to have so many ideas to choose from whenever I’m ready to dive into a new story!
After PiBoIdMo, I fleshed out the ideas. I was tempted to dig into my favorite ones, but decided to concentrate on existing picture book and novel manuscripts until May 1, when Paula Yoo’s National Picture Book Writing Week (NaPiBoWriWee) began. I was thrilled to complete eight shiny new drafts by the end of that challenge! They’re in various stages of revision now. PiBoIdMo definitely sparked ideas that are turning into gems.
I used to spend so much time revising manuscripts, I’d only write a couple new ones a year. This is fantastic motivation to keep the new ones coming. I hope you’ll all join in the PiBoIdMo fun!
Here are my top ten reasons why you should try PiBoIdMo:
- You’ll have at least 30 ideas to play around with by the end of November.
- This could lead to amazing new manuscripts and help you avoid Blank Page Syndrome the next time you want to start a new project.
- Challenges are a fun way to kick start your writing.
- It will help train your brain to look for ideas everywhere.
- Meet lots of friendly, supportive writers through Tara’s blog and the PiBoIdMo Facebook group.
- You’ll have cool PiBoIdMo participant and winner logos to display online.
- You can tell everyone you’re busy with a challenge and need help with laundry and chores (shh…they don’t need to know it won’t take up too much time every day).
- If you do receive some household help, use the extra time to come up with more ideas, flesh some out, or work on a manuscript.
- You could be a future PiBoIdMo Success Story! Keep your eyes open for a post full of great news about past participants. This challenge has sparked ideas that have led to agents, book contracts, and contest wins!
- If the above reasons aren’t enough to motivate you to join, you can win PRIZES…including critiques from authors and feedback from agents!
I’d like to hear what you love most about this fun challenge and any tips you have. For those of you taking the plunge for the first time, what are you looking forward to the most? You can also post any questions you have here or on the PiBoIdMo Facebook group.
If you think you’re too busy to tackle this challenge…I dare you to try it anyway. Last year, I wrote over 50,000 words of a novel for NaNoWriMo and completed PiBoIdMo with 38 ideas! Look back at all the writers who won the challenge in 2010. This year, you can be a winner, too. And Tara decided to give us two extra days, so you can start RIGHT NOW! Don’t forget to sign up here, so you’ll be able to win some amazing prizes. Then start a PiBoIdMo file or open a journal and go, go go! I know you can do it. 🙂

Great post–it’s so true that once you go into idea-finding mode your brain produces an amazing amount of stuff (some good ideas, some not-so-good ideas, and occasionally a fantastic idea). I’m excited to get started!
October 30, 2011 at 6:37 pm
Mindy Alyse Weiss
Thanks, Laura. Fingers and toes crossed for many fantastic ideas!
Sometimes, several semi-good ideas can be combined into a great idea.
I’m excited to start, too. Good luck!

tinamcho
Thanks, Mindy, for this post. It’s great to know more about you and how you gather your ideas. I thought of a question…Are we to write 30 different book ideas or just 30 ideas even though it might be on some of the same prospective books? (did that even make sense?)
~Tina
October 30, 2011 at 6:41 pm
Mindy Alyse Weiss
Thanks so much, Tina.
In the past, I’ve combined several semi-good PiBoIdMo ideas into a great manuscript. I’ve also come up with companion book ideas (I usually try to add extra stand alone book ideas when this happens).
Do whatever works best for you! The most important thing is to start the ideas flying in your direction. It’s amazing how many hit you once you’re used to looking for them.
Good luck!

Thanks for a great kick off, Mindy.
I love PiBoIdMo and look forward to it every year. And like you, I’ve followed up with Paula Yoo’s NaPiBoWriWee. A great combo!
Looking forward to a fun month.
Good luck everyone!
October 30, 2011 at 6:44 pm
Mindy Alyse Weiss
Thanks, Dana! I’m looking forward to a fun month, too. I can’t wait to hear about all the new NaPiBoWriWee manuscripts you’ll write in May that spark from your PiBoIdMo ideas.
Good luck!

That’s a great top ten, Mindy! Thanks for kicking off PiBoIdMo 2011. 🙂

I’m a first-timer, eagerly looking forward to the support and the energy of being involved in a group like this, and especially eagerly looking forward to filling my idea file to the brim!
October 30, 2011 at 6:46 pm
Mindy Alyse Weiss
I’m glad you took the plunge, Elizabeth. The support and energy is incredible, and I can’t wait to hear about all your progress. Good luck. 🙂

Amy D.
Okay, you just nudged me right over the edge, and I’m signing up. I have been waffling about whether or not I have time for it with all I have going on. But I actually think it will be fun to do something not related to my current manuscript. Thanks for the encouragement, Mindy!
October 30, 2011 at 6:48 pm
Mindy Alyse Weiss
Yay, Amy! I’m so glad you decided to join again.
You’re welcome for the encouragement. I can’t wait to read all the new manuscripts sparked from this challenge when you’re ready to share them with our critique group.
Good luck with PiBoIdMo and your revision!

Deb Marshall
Thanks, Mindy. You are always such an inspiration. What I like about this challenge is how it really does put your brain into hyper picture book mode. We are surrounded by inspiration.
October 30, 2011 at 6:51 pm
Mindy Alyse Weiss
Aw, thanks Deb!
I know what you mean. It’s a little scary at first because we’re not used to finding so many ideas in a short period of time. I love how many start to hit once we get our brains used to searching. It makes me wonder what else we can train ourselves to do. 😉
Good luck! I hope the ideas fly for you.
October 30, 2011 at 11:04 am
Geralyn Underwood
I am excited to know that doing PiBoIdMo and NaNoWriMo are both doable Thanks so much for the inspiration!!!!
~ Geralyn
October 30, 2011 at 6:54 pm
Mindy Alyse Weiss
You’re welcome. It’s definitely possible…especially since you can come up with your picture book ideas while you’re doing other activities like showering, driving, etc. It really doesn’t take much time to type them up (or however you choose to record them). You can always flesh them out more in December.
Good luck with PiBoIdMo and NaNo, Geralyn! I hope the words and ideas fly for you. 🙂
October 30, 2011 at 11:09 am
DianaM
Great post, Mindy!
What do I like best about PiBoIdMo? Hmmm. I think I like the way one idea leads to another. Also, I like the feeling of anticipation. I know I’ll have lots of new ideas by the end of the month, but I don’t yet know what they’ll be. I can’t wait to find out.
Thanks for the inspiration, MIndy.
October 30, 2011 at 11:10 am

(P.S. Your daughters are gorgeous!!)
October 30, 2011 at 6:58 pm
Mindy Alyse Weiss
Aw, thanks so much, Diana…about the post and my daughters!
I love how one idea leads to another, also. And you’re so right about the anticipation. It’s wonderful to know that I’ll have so many new ideas to play with by November 30th.
I can’t wait to hear about all the manuscripts you write from these shiny new ideas. You won the Barbara Karlin Grant from a past PiBoIdMo idea…just think about all the wonderful possibilities for these new ideas.
Good luck!!!

Louann Brown
It’s great to have something for those of us who are picture book minded.
I have a list of manuscripts ready to submit as a direct result of my participation last year. It was an effective motivator that generated many of my best ideas! (When you know you’re looking for ideas, your brain kicks into overdrive sucking in all the possibilities.) Thanks for taking this on.
October 30, 2011 at 6:59 pm
Mindy Alyse Weiss
That’s wonderful, Louann! Fingers and toes crossed for the manuscripts that are ready to submit and that you’ll have many more amazing ideas this year. 🙂

beckylevine
Great post, Mindy. It’s just how I picture the next month–some wonderful ideas with bits of dialogue and attitude and then those almost-empty pages in the notebook, with a single word like “Bats” or something! And thanks for the other links, definitely places I’ll be exploring.
October 30, 2011 at 7:05 pm
Mindy Alyse Weiss
Thanks, Becky! You’re welcome for the links. I hope they help. 🙂
Some ideas definitely pop more from the start. I love when they come out in detail right away! I hope you have tons of vivid ideas this PiBoIdMo.
October 30, 2011 at 12:24 pm

Thanks, Mindy. Looking forward to a book full of ideas and wonderful dialogue with new writing peeps.

You’re welcome, Joanna. Good luck with PiBoIdMo–I hope the ideas fly for you. 🙂

patientdreamer
Great blog post. I’m a first timer as well and hope to keep up with you all. Love the file idea, so off to organise that and hopefully get to fill it up with all the PiBo ideas. Thanks.
October 30, 2011 at 7:17 pm
Mindy Alyse Weiss
Thanks so much! I’m sure you’ll do a fantastic job. One of the things that helps me is to jot down fragments of ideas and think about them in detail when I’m doing other activities. Then, I don’t stare at a blank page when I sit down to write an idea or two. It’s amazing how many ideas start to hit you once you get used to looking for them daily.
Good luck!

Bonnie Adamson
Thanks for the excellent kick-off, Minday. PiBoIdMo is a deceptively simple exercise that really pays off. I’ve kept notebooks for two years, and am still going back to them to mine for gems–some that seemed promising at first seem less so now, while others have sprouted wings. And, like you, I use my PiBoIdMo stash to jump start NaPiBoWriWee in the spring. It’s great for illustrators who plan on participating in the #PBdummy challenge #kidlitart sponsors at the first of the year, too. Keep paper and pencil handy, everybody, and happy pb brainstorming to all!
October 30, 2011 at 1:49 pm
Bonnie Adamson
Sorry, MINDY!! (Monday on the brain already, apparently!)
October 30, 2011 at 10:09 pm
Mindy Alyse Weiss
Thanks, Bonnie! Happy brainstorming to you, too. And don’t worry about spelling my name Minday–I’ve seen so many people do it and couldn’t figure out why. I wonder if they’ve all had Monday on the brain, too. 😉

sabrina
Thanks Mindy ! i’m happy I’m not the only one a little intimidated by the challenge. Also love it that the shower works inspirational for you as well 🙂
October 30, 2011 at 10:12 pm
Mindy Alyse Weiss
You’re welcome, Sabrina. I know you’ll do great! I think starting a challenge is always the hardest part, and before you know it, the ideas will flow.
I was surprised how many people come up with great ideas while showering. One of these days, I’ll find a way to jot my ideas down in there! I usually end up repeating them in my head until I can run to the notebook I always leave next to my bed.
Good luck! I can’t wait to hear about your PiBoIdMo progress. 🙂

Beth Consugar
Thanks for the information and encouragement! It’s great to start this challenge with such an enthusiastic pep talk! I can’t wait to start logging my ideas. This does sound a little overwhelming, but it wouldn’t be a challenge if it were too easy. This is just what I need to get my writing kick-started after a bit of a funk.
October 30, 2011 at 10:17 pm
Mindy Alyse Weiss
You’re welcome, Beth! Thanks for your sweet message. 🙂
This is the perfect challenge to kick-start your writing. And you’re right–challenges are great because they push us to work harder than we normally would. The best part about this challenge is that looking for ideas becomes a bigger part of our day long after the challenge finishes!
Are you going to follow this up with the new challenge starting in January to write one new picture book manuscript a month in 2012 and/or Paula Yoo’s 7 picture book drafts in 7 days/NaPiBoWriWee challenges?

What a great way to utilize PiBoIdMo and NaPiBoWriWee! And I agree, some of my favorite and complete manuscripts came from last year’s PiBoIdMo. Hoping to sell one of ’em soon! Thanks Mindy! You posted a GREAT start to a great event! 🙂
October 30, 2011 at 10:25 pm
Mindy Alyse Weiss
Thanks, Marcy! Yay that you have some great manuscripts from last years’ PiBoIdMo. Fingers and toes crossed that you’ll sell at least one of them soon. 🙂
October 30, 2011 at 4:17 pm
Marcy P.
Okay, if this ends up a duplicate comment, I’m sorry! I posted it and it vanished… Ha! So, the gist was that I said THANK YOU for a great start, Mindy! And what a great way to utilize PiBoIdMo and NaPiBoWriWee. Some of my favorite and complete manuscripts come from last year’s PiBoIdMo- now to sell them!

Sue Heavenrich
Great way to kick off the month! And thanks for the links to the list of 400 things kids like – it’s like having an idea bank …. may help shake loose an idea or two as I’m trying to sqwuinch words from the tip of my pencil during Na-Pi-Bo-Mo!
October 30, 2011 at 10:26 pm
Mindy Alyse Weiss
You’re welcome, Sue. Tara did an amazing job coming up with the list of things kids like. I turned to it a few times when searching for ideas.
Thanks for your sweet message. I hope you have an amazing month!

Cathy C. Hall
I’m looking forward to finding my inner picture book writer. I was discouraged a few years back from pursuing PB ideas because it’s so…well, hard. But I’m a little older and wiser now. I’m up for the challenge!
October 30, 2011 at 10:37 pm
Mindy Alyse Weiss
I’m so sorry that you were discouraged a few years ago, Cathy. Picture books are so much harder than they look…but definitely worth it. I’m pretty sure my picture books go through even more rounds of revision than my novels…they just take much less time per round.
Sometimes, only a grain of an idea remains from the first version. Most of mine have so many changes, that it’s wild to see the first draft and ready-to-sub versions next to each other!
Hang in there…and when this challenge is over, maybe you can write some dazzling new picture books and dust off some old picture book manuscripts and revise them using new knowledge. It’s amazing what you can see clearer once you’ve had some distance. Great critique partners are an incredible help, too!
Good luck! I’m sending lots of good picture book vibes your way. 🙂
October 30, 2011 at 9:29 pm
Sheri Dillard
Great post! Thanks, Mindy! 🙂 This is my third year with PiBoIdMo. My favorite part about the challenge is how it gets me in the habit of looking for ideas everywhere. (And I’m off to a good start — I already have idea #1!)
October 30, 2011 at 10:39 pm
Mindy Alyse Weiss
Thanks, Sheri! Yay for having your first idea already. I have a feeling you’re going to finish this challenge with more than 30 ideas, and I hope they turn into dazzling new picture books soon.
Getting in the habit of looking for ideas everywhere is one of my favorite parts, too. (And making sure I remember to write them down before they fly away.)
Good luck. 🙂

Meagan Healy
Hi Mindy – thanks for the post! As a first timer, I think the camaraderie that comes from this will be nicest! As for myself, I know that these kinds of practices develop habits and this is one habit I’m inclined to start!
Glad to hear your success story!
Cheers,
Meagan
October 30, 2011 at 10:54 pm
Mindy Alyse Weiss
Thanks, Meagan. I love the camaraderie, too! And I love being surrounded by others who love children’s books as much as I do–they’re the nicest people!
I’m glad you’re taking the PiBoIdMo plunge, and can’t wait to hear about all your successes from this challenge.
Are you going to follow it up with the new challenge to write one picture book manuscript a month in 2012 or NaPiBoWriWee where you write 7 picture book drafts in 7 days in the beginning of May?
October 30, 2011 at 10:38 pm
Jarm Del Boccio
Thanks, Mindy, for starting us off on the “write” foot! I have been in the writing doldrums lately, so I am looking forward to igniting the fires of creativity once more. God’s world has an ample supply of ideas for us all…
October 30, 2011 at 10:56 pm
Mindy Alyse Weiss
I hope this is the perfect kick start for your writing, Jarm! I think there are more than enough ideas for us all, and it’s great to cheer each other on through a fun challenge like this.
I can’t wait to hear about your progress! Good luck. 🙂

#$%@&*! Got that out of the way! It has taken me days to download the image and it has driven me nuts. Don’t know why it wouldn’t download as I’ve done it before. BUT I FINALLY DID IT! Anyway, I’m looking forward to participating in a picture book contest! And, so hoping to come up with ideas.
October 31, 2011 at 8:17 am
Mindy Alyse Weiss
I’m glad you found a way to download the image, Patricia! I’m sure you’ll come up with tons of great ideas this month. Just knowing the challenge is here has them sparking all around me. And if you find you’re off to a slow start, take a peek at the links above, think back to something that had a great impact on you when you were little or something you see a child want/fear/experience. It usually just takes a tiny nugget to grow into an amazing idea.
Did you sign up on the special page Tara has set up, so you’ll be included in the prize drawings? https://taralazar.wordpress.com/2011/10/24/piboidmo-official-sign-up-starts-today-right-here-right-now/

Beth E Lee
Thanks for the post Mindy… what I’m looking most forward to is the focus on just ideas. I have three picture books that I’m editing and trying to get published which as you know can get discouraging. I’m really looking forward to seeing what I end up with and getting involved with a new community.
October 31, 2011 at 8:25 am
Mindy Alyse Weiss
You’re welcome, Beth. You’ll love the community–everyone is so friendly and supportive. Have you joined the Facebook group yet? We’ve had some great chats there so far: https://www.facebook.com/groups/265963663444660/?notif_t=group_activity
It’s great to take some time out to focus on new ideas. We spend so much time revising things, it’s easy to get wrapped up in existing manuscripts and not add new ones. Good luck with the three picture books you’re editing! I hope they find homes soon. 🙂

Thanks, Amy. I’m so glad you’re addicted to PiBoIdMo, too, and can’t wait to see all the great manuscripts that come from it. I know this will be an amazing month for us! 🙂

Diandra Mae
Fabulous post, Mindy! My experiences have been similar, with ideas flowing more and more. I also like how sometimes I’d get just a title, sometimes a plot, sometimes a character. A little mystery make writing that much more interesting. 🙂 Looking forward to another great PiBoIdMo!
October 31, 2011 at 8:31 am
Mindy Alyse Weiss
Thanks, Diandra. I know what you mean! I especially love when I’m able to weave some of the fragments together into an amazing idea. I hope November is full of wonderful mysteries and ‘aha’ moments for you. 🙂
