Thank you for offering this series–and all the information you share with us in your posts. I love reading about writing technique–when it’s well written and feels right–and yours does. I’ve been enjoying all your posts/articles that I’ve read. An area I don’t feel I know enough about is picture book technique–so I’m really looking forward to this.
Hi, Darcy.
I’ve got a topic for you: amping up the humor in pbs.
Thanks for putting this all together. :)
