The Month that Was

[kellyrfineman]

I spent the month of November participating in Tara Lazar's Picture Book Idea Month. The goal was to come up with one idea for a possible picture book each day

Wow - a pb a day? I could never do that - I only jotted down the ideas, and occasionally fleshed them out a wee bit.

I've heard that (not for sissies) elsewhere as well - but man - a PB a day is INSANE, woman!

Wow! 50 ideas! Well, I know who I'm tapping to be a guest blogger next November!

That's incredible, Kelly. And you were downplaying your efforts early on in the month. Congratulations on another demonstration of your awesomeness!

[kellyrfineman]

I don't feel particularly awesome. It was just that some days, I'd end up with a few ideas that were decent. And some days, I just challenged myself to write down 5-7 book titles, which is how several of my actual projects that are completed got their start. It really only took 5-15 minutes per day.

Accept your title, already: Kelly is Awesome!

Tracy is Too Sweet!

Congratulations. I love the surprises you got--like the MG novel. :) And who knows, in six months, how they'll all look? Some of the ones you don't like now may show up with a new spark.

That's true. At least one of the poetry collection ideas is already starting to catch at my imagination. Inconvenient, but I'm thinking I might give it a few weeks of attention to see how it does. And then I really, really must get back to Jane!
