What a flibbertigibbet I am. I randomly selected the remaining Storystorm winners and announced them on the Facebook group (are you a member yet?), but it took me forever and a day to post them here.
Apologies. I am knee-deep in writing my WHIZBANG WORDBOOK for Sourcebooks Jabberwocky. It’s an alternate reality, selling a book on proposal and THEN having to write it. Not the picture book author’s bailiwick. But I am cock-a-hoop over the whole thing, all atingle.
There comes a moment in my school presentations when the kids want me to stop being a blatherskite and read the book already. This is that moment…

I think I wasn’t mentioned as the winner of NAKED! By Michael Ian Black Illustrated by Debbie Ridpath Ohi (both English & Japanese versions)…but I mentioned it in Story Storm 2017 so it still counts. ha

You’re the best, Tara! I know what a huge undertaking your challenge is…and distributing the prizes is one more layer! Thank you for helping me create a notebook filled with picture book ideas…I’d better live another 30 years because that’s how long it will take me to write all of those stories. 🙂 Thanks also to all of the generous prize donors…I hope next year I’ll be able to participate on the other side of the table. 😉

Hooray, hooray! Tara, I think you are fabulous and not at all a “flibbertigibbet.” I’m not exactly sure what that means, but I am pretty sure you are not one. Congrats to all!

One of my ideas is going to see the light of day at my critique group meeting this Saturday. I’m hoping to get some great ideas to make it better to begin the revision process. Thanks for the great ideas and congrats to all the winners!

Thank you again for all the inspiration. I’ve gained so much in my work. And I just have to say I adore your Joe Vs the Volcano reference – one of my favorites. Perhaps you just had a temporary “braincloud”….. 🙂
