Pi Bo Id Mo: Throw me a deadline & I will write a story.
Hurray! Children’s author Emily Lim, the awesome lady who invited me to speak at the 2013 Asian Festival of Children’s Content in Singapore, is joining PiBoIdMo!
PiBoIdMo is the perfect launching pad for picture book writers…not only will you create a notebook of 30 ideas that might someday become award-winners…you will also be exposed to over 500 (YES, 500) energized writers and illustrators who will be sharing tips and helpful information in posts (on Tara Lazar’s blog and in their own) and in the comments (I know, scrolling through hundreds of comments on each post takes time…but it is time well-spent…there are always excellent nuggets of knowledge lurking there).
The Bible says something about if two or three are gathered There IS power in community…and here we have over 500 gathering…don’t you feel the energy?

Congrats for joining the challenge and good luck!
I thought about joining this year, but besides being already overloaded with work projects and personal issues, I don’t think I can find 30 book ideas, and I’m not sure I want to. I already have about 5 children’s book ideas and I think they’re all good ones, so I wouldn’t want to spend time looking for more ideas. What I think is finding the time to focus on 2 or 3 of these books. Time, what is that???

Yes, Milka…we have to make choices, that’s for sure! It’s awesome that you have a couple of pb ideas that you are excited about. 🙂 And time…if I find any extra, I’ll be sure to send it over to you. 🙂

That’s right up your alley, Vivian.
I have to chose my priorities, so I won’t be joining in. 😦

Tracy…as I said to Milka (Perfecting Motherhood), we have to make choices…we can’t do everything…you are already involved in many projects. One doesn’t have to be in a church to worship God…and one doesn’t have to take part in PiBoIdMo to think of winning picture book ideas. 🙂
