Poor, sad, neglected blog!
I’ve been whisking off to school visits and conferences, but I’ve not been too busy to blog. Too lazy, perhaps. And I have an avalanche of awesome authors and illustrators waiting for me to post about their books. I need a swift kick in the pantaloons.
Remember when Twitter was introduced, “they” dubbed it a micro-blogging platform? (“They” are always busy, have you noticed?)
Well, I’ve been micro-blogging. Here are some recent tidbits of #pubtips…
Don’t follow me on Twitter?
Let’s fix that, shall we? (Does that make us a “they”?)
And now, here are “they” who won recent giveaways here:
Cate Berry’s PENGUIN & SHRIMP DON’T DO BEDTIME
Amanda Sincavage
Tracy Marchini’s CHICKEN WANTS A NAP
Carole Calladine
Troy Cummings’ CAN I BE YOUR DOG?
Kara Newhouse
Congratulations, winners! I will email you shortly…

I love this post so much! Because–Procrastination. Because–keeping kids’ reading at the forefront. Because–admitting the fear. Thank you for keeping it real, Tara!

Winner – wow! You have no idea how appropriate this book is for me right now. It’s been a rough bedtime and naptime week, which is cramping my writing time. Looking forward to reading PENGUIN & SHRIMP!
