Happy Midsummer

Tonight is Midsummer Night, and my dream of serene sunny days filled with productive writing has not yet materialized. Revisions are limping along, this blog is neglected. Other people are blogging though, and I’ll send you off to visit them.

On Wednesdays, Alice Pope’s SCBWI Children’s Market Blog, compiles helpful industry posts, and two caught my eye. Mary Kole at kidlit posted a letter from a reader about using a good telling sentence to introduce showing. This is similar to starting a paragraph in an essay with a topic sentence then backing it up with specific examples. Jennifer Crusie wrote a terrific, content-filled post on plot in Argh Ink.
