Lovely to hear more about you. And so helpful about picture books being useful for writing Middle Grade. I'm fairly new to Middle Grade and hoped that being a pb writer helped a bit. I am trying to be a plotter but I change the story so much in the first draft you wouldn't recognise it. I'd love to read your Middle Grade stuff some time, if you don't mind. <br />Nice to *meet* you Michelle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27369146.post-38269818706184739982011-09-06T13:08:28.065+02:002011-09-06T13:08:28.065+02:00I thought three kids were a time pit.

I like her concept that the best way to learn writing is from your own writing -- i.e., writing more and more. And I really like her idea of writing a short synopsis first. I have a hard time with outlines, (in writing, anyway), but this sounds so doable. I'm going to try it on my next WIP.
