Right. I think I'll change my Camp WriMo goal to 10K... (the minimum I can aim for).

I just remembered that there is such a thing as songs about time travel...

I had a nice weekend. Placed second in our group's obstacle course ski race and got a coffee mug for a prize. Now I have 7 prize mugs for the 7 years I've been a volunteer with the adaptive ski school, for 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place. I'm under pressure to continue my streak!

Also: new avatar!

Love the new avatar! And congrats on your WIN. :e2woo: Sounds like a great time.

Keep forgetting to mention this: I'm giving away signed copies of my new picture books via twitter - folks just need to follow me, and RT the tweet to enter.

It's really fun meeting new folks on twitter after they enter. But I'd also love to have some AW folks in the draw!

I'm not on twitter. But picture books! Yay! :D

What are your favourite resources for researching things for children's fiction?

Read the stickied threads, lisalulu. They're there for a reason. ;) The Everything MG thread, the tool kit, the KidLit Blogs thread, etc.; they're packed with resources. You'll find the very BEST resources in the Talk about the kidlit you're reading thread, though. :Thumbs:

somewhere, out there
I must be losing my mind, but I thought someone had posted in here about looking for a chocolate Easter bunny that was safe for kids with peanut allergies (maybe it was Britwriter's twitter feed.

But if you're around any of the Vermont Peanut Free Chocolate stores, you could pick one up there. They can't fill any more orders and get them mailed out in time for Easter, though.

And I LOVE free picture books. Just sayin'.

Hi.

Looking up my time travel recs on Goodreads -- and I actually recognise Beswitched!

ETA: I really am struggling to decide what to work on next.

Aw, thanks, KittyPride and Smish!

I'm a little jealous, KittyPride!! My backyard is a quagmire (is that even how you spell that??) right now, and will be for several months, so no real gardening for me this year. I bought some seeds, herbs and tomatoes and lettuces...just stuff I can grow in pots for now.

Welcome back, Spiral. You deserve some dancing bananas. :banana: :banana: :banana:

You have a good time, Kitty. Don't forget to send us a postcard. (do they still make them?)
