Becky and I are great whippers!Corey Schwartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03883689227283545602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647218177948670695.post-64157999623052391722009-10-02T11:58:32.266-04:002009-10-02T11:58:32.266-04:00I write young adult but I'm in awe of picture ...I write young adult but I'm in awe of picture book writers.

I am struggling, struggling, struggling with a WIP so these suggestions come at an opportune time. <br /><br />Am I correct that you're one up, one down right now? Take that one up and CELEBRATE! Don't let the others drag you down.<br /><br />Oh, and can your dad adopt me? I love his rhyming encouragement. He definitely wins the cool blog dad award.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01648861548786258875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647218177948670695.post-30638289654075977912009-10-02T07:53:43.020-04:002009-10-02T07:53:43.020-04:00Though, no criticizing my agent!

I am a damn good rhymer (maybe not as awesome as you, but damn good) yet none of the PBs I have sent out that rhyme ever get much attention. (although I am nearing the end of one now....hehehe) Persistence thy name be me!<br /><br />Anyway, I think you owe it to the idea to play with the structure some....<br /><br />Good Luck. It's hard in the PB world right now.
