Interesting. Thank you for that, but I also want to thank for something else. I suffer from color blindness (tritanopia to be exact). I use Konqueror browser (not sure if that is important), and a considerabland a number of websites are tricky to read because of a problematic range of colors employed ithe design. On this site, as the range of colours is sensible, the website is extremely tidy and pleasant to understand. I don’t know whether it was a calculated and kind undertaking, or simply a happy accident, but thanks anyway.

Carolyn, I never thought of that — great ideas, though! Thanks.

Margaret, how DO you find such interesting authors to feature? LOL.
BTW, a background in poetry can help with marketing, too. Think of alliteration in headlines, as an example, or internal rhyme in your e-mail subject lines.

Best,

I admire Crystalee. It’s hard to write a complete story in rhyme, but children love it. They’ll repeat the rhymes over and over.

I love it! I can’t write poetry myself, but love it that others can so I can enjoy it. I never knew what a povel was before. Thanks for sharing it with us.

I agree with Crystalee, writing rhyming stories is difficult…meter, syllable count and so on.

That’s great that you were able to stick to a specific routine for your novel. That’s also a difficult aspect of writing – setting aside specific amounts of time to actually write.

Grreat post, Margaret,

Hmmm, doesn’t look like my comment went through. I’ll try it again. I can see how wrriting poetry would help writing rhyming childrens books. I write haiku for fun, but don’t think it would translate well into a kids story that would keep them interested. Best wishes for your success.
