You know you need more sites to read...

Charles Butler, who wrote one of my favorite children's fantasies of 2004,
The Fetch of Mardy Watt , talks about luring readers and infodumps on "An Awfully Big Adventure", which is a group blog composed of 15 kidzbook writers.

Wow, sartorias, that site is fascinating! I normally think I will never, ever read something in addition to LJ (which my husband already considers essentially alcoholism, I know...), but when I got to the second entry back, about the person writing a story on commission, and the problems and requirements, I was hooked.

Thanks for the rec!

It's got fabulous content.

(I wish they'd get an RSS feed for LJ.)

I got one!

hold on, I'll put it here...

Okay: go to this page: http://www.livejournal.com/syn/

And in the box at the bottom, enter this URL: http://awfullybigblogadventure.blogspot.com/

It will ask you if you want to add it to your friends list, and you say yes :-)
