<p>I&#8217;ve been catching up reading the blogs of others, mostly those who labor to create novels, picture books and stories for kids.  Here are a few interesting posts:</p>
<ul>
<li>The Crazy Blond writes a <a href="http://kporterbooks.livejournal.com/96769.html">poignant post on mothering a foster child</a>.</li>
<li>Is it true?  <a href="http://www.nea.gov/news/news09/ReadingonRise.html">7% more adults are reading literature</a>?  Even <a href="http://kenyonreview.org/blog/?p=2569">young adults are reading novels</a>? This is indeed, good news.</li>
<li>From the Guide to Literary Agents blog comes a surprising post on revision: <a href="http://www.guidetoliteraryagents.com/blog/Tips+On+Rewriting+From+Your+Peers.aspx">Tips on Rewriting from Your Peers</a>.</li>
<li>And Janni is <a href="http://janni.livejournal.com/559201.html">talking to her characters and her story again</a>. These conversations fascinate me!</li>
