BLOG BREAK Routine and Reality
Nick Cross presents his fortnightly selection of must-read blogs.
Fiona Barker has dropped in to the Story Snug site to talk with Catherine Friess about her beautiful new picture book Setsuko and the Song of the Sea (illustrated by Howard Gray).
Catherine Rosevear has first-draft-itis. I'd have told her that there's an ointment you can get for that, except it turns out this affliction is a good thing.
If there's one subject that remains ever-contentious, it's celebrity children's authors. With his blog post, Pete Frederick is wading into the discussion, but also trying to maintain some perspective!
Liz Flanagan's latest article is technically more of a video than a blog post, but you do get an hour of Liz and her editor Rosie Fickling talking frankly about the reality of their jobs, and how they work together to publish books.
Finally, have you ever wondered how prolific authors maintain their work rates? In a post for A Very Big Blog Adventure, Tracy Darnton discovers that their lives and writing routines are somewhat different from her own.
Nick.

No comments:
We love comments and really appreciate the time it takes to leave one.
Interesting and pithy reactions to a post are brilliant but we also LOVE it when people just say they've read and enjoyed.
We've made it easy to comment by losing the 'are you human?' test, which means we get a lot of spam. Fortunately, Blogger recognises these, so most, if not all, anonymous comments are deleted without reading.
