Kid Lit Blog Hop 28: PiBoIdMo 2013


Welcome to the Kid Lit Blog Hop #28


 
Today, I want to share with you something a little different to my usual scintillating reviews.
 
 
This month I have been participating in, da da da dahhhh.....


 
?????????
What is it you ask, well it is the brain child of the fabulously talented Tara Lazar, author of "The Monstore"
 
She cooked up an idea to inspire authors to get writing, and voila.... a month long picture book inspiration-athon began.
 
You can visit Tara's blog each day to gain some great tips, insider info and an all round fabulous community of like minded picture book author enthusiasts.
 
Well, I thought to myself, wouldn't that just fit in so wonderfully with our hop.
 
So head on over to check out some of the posts


 
I am on track. I have 25 ideas, albeit some are just titles or names of characters ... despite my fairly tongue in cheek beginning.
( from my last hop you may remember my "No Peanuts In My Play ground by Ana Phylaxis)
 
I have managed to write two full picture books.
 
Here are their titles.....
 
1. I Think My Brother Is A Robot
 
2. Mammy's Yammy Noodles.
 
Stay tuned folks, maybe one day you will find them in a bookstore near you. LOL
 
Happy hopping

  2. I'm also doing PiBoIdMo although I'm slightly behind on ideas. I've got a bit sidetracked by a story that I'm writing from one of my first ideas but the same thing happened last year so hopefully I can catch up :)

  10. I wish I had known about the Picture Book Month. It all seems overwhelming this month with NaNo and WINFM. Well, next year, maybe I can do all three. I concentrated on nonfiction and dealt with parental involvement in educaition.
