November is for writers and book lovers!

November 1st kicks off several events in children's literature that you should know about.
     First, November is NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). Since two of my novels began as NaNoWriMo novels, it is something I firmly believe in as an exercise towards success.
     It's also Picture Book Month. As one of the co-hosts of Picture Book Month—a month filled with themed reading days and interviews with your favorite creators—I'm excited about the upcoming schedule (more on that soon).
     To help you on your own writer's journey, I'll be featuring books about writing (for both my young and . . . more mature readers) all month. So, find your writing spot, roll up your sleeves, and lets dive in!
