April/May Writing Tips

April is national poetry month. Tips from http://www.poets.org/page.php/prmID/94

Celebrate Poem in Your Pocket Day 
The idea is simple: select a poem you love, carry it with you, then share it with co-workers, family, and friends.

Memorize a poem 
"Getting a poem or prose passage truly 'by heart' implies getting it by mind and memory and understanding and delight."

Why not combine these two activities? And then recite to it to a child?

 
SCBWI's Summer Conference in LA or AK

Can't attend a conference? Check out who is speaking and read their books instead. You will get a taste of what is being published and why.

Writing gives me a great excuse to sit around in my cozy covers through long, dark, Alaska winter days. Plus, this way I'm not just talking to myself, I'm putting the voices to work by getting to know my characters!

Would you like to meet them, too?
