Once upon a time, I knew nothing about how to submit a picture book manuscript, and almost nothing about how to write one. Everyone starts at basically the same place. Keep going, keep growing! #writingcommunity #picturebookauthor

Sometimes a #picturebook flows from my brain like a raging river...other times it's a slow drip-drop. & every once & awhile it feels like I'm battling an uphill current with pool noodle.

Funny the way that is!
