MishaAside from being OVER all of this snow, we’ve got some good reasons to keep moving toward spring. New things are coming to our blog in April, and while I want to hype them, I don’t want to ruin the surprise just yet. And we’re all going to be surprised because the creative process could take us anywhere. Who knows what shenanigans one month will bring?
As for March… I can say we’ve got a great line-up.
March 3: Kristen Johnson is blasting into a new genre — all about craft books. Who couldn’t use some ideas for good, clean in-door fun these days?
March 5: Candice Yamnitz is writing about Dust, another great retelling of a classic fairytale, by Kara Swanson.
March 8: Jill Willis is celebrating National Proofreader’s Day… by teaching us that it exists! I’m all for this day because who doesn’t love a friend who makes your writing look like you knew what you were doing? Certainly celebration-worthy, if you ask me.
March 12: Burt Cole loves silliness, especially in book form. He’s diving into Frindle, by Andrew Clements, where a boy makes up a new word for a writing pen. Before he can stop the nonsense, his word sweeps the nation and probably causes chaos.
March 19: Michelle Welsh is chatting about Andrew Peterson’s middle grade novel, On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness. It’s book one of his Wingfeather Saga, and I love the way the title playfully repeats the word dark.
March 22: Tracy Popolizio will drop some wisdom about faith in the every day.
March 29: Gretchen Carlson is going to teach us a parable on swimming lessons and how that translates to life and writing… and not drowning.
There’s more than this coming, but you’ll have to be surprised by the rest!
Don’t forget to wear green on St. Patty’s day!
