I know you are trying to show various "types" pulling together. Could use those in the last sentence instead of the names?

I would be interested to see how they interact and work together.<br /><br /><br />As for the course, I have always wanted to know more about the whole "children's books should be in multiples of 8 pages" kind of stuff. I know how to write the poems, but I need to know what the parameters are as far as appealing to publishers. Does your course give those tips about format and such?Susan Andersonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1007703247358638748.post-43810253791062753712013-01-10T07:10:33.230-05:002013-01-10T07:10:33.230-05:00Yea!

Right now I am doing all I can do to keep a balance between writing, 12x12m blogging and my meditative work. I may try it a little later.<br /><br /><br />I love time travel, and would read it.

Look forward to taking it in the spring! <br /><br />YES, I definitely would read Wendy's MG book. Love time travel! Also love how you group restoring history, rebuilding the country & surviving middle school together. I am intrigued, though, about the identity of the person(s) or group(s) that put the group together & wonder whether anyone else would like to see that person/group identified in the pitch.Patricia Nozellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1007703247358638748.post-41958086694390753292013-01-09T17:37:52.188-05:002013-01-09T17:37:52.188-05:00Thanks!
