The first thing I noticed about this library copy was the evidence of true love. Someone has read this book over and over. Scieszka and Barnett have a humor that kids can relate to, and they crack me up. Myers' illustrations look simple at first glance. The whole book design is genius. Extra ☆ for mentioning Godzilla.

Write Great Fiction Revision And Self-Editing | James Scott Bell

pick

Full of great advice on the writing and revision process, particularly for self published authors such as myself.

I really enjoyed the included exercises and examples of topics discussed. Some I plan on continuing with well beyond the time I mark this book as finished.

I‘d recommend this to other writers because there‘s never harm in reading any book on your craft and maybe this will provide you with some tricks that you had not yet heard of.

7 days, 7 covers, no explanations...but I have to say I love the detail they put into these "altered" covers!

Happy Campers Coloring Book | Thaneeya McArdle

Hey, Littens! Are any of you participating in #CampNanowrimo this April? I will be but I‘m not in a cabin yet. My goal is 35 hours / 35,000 words revision on book one draft “2.5”. #WrimosofLitsy #LittenWrimos #LitsyWriters #WritersofLitsy #CampNano #Revision

jmofo I‘m planning on it! Last year, @CocoReads had a Litsy Cabin, we can get another going this year. I have to log in again since I haven‘t been on since November. I‘m glad you posted about this! 5y

wanderinglynn I‘ve been thinking about it. I wrote a novel during NaNo 2013, but have never gotten around to doing anything with it. I‘ve been planning to work on it some more. Maybe this would be a good time. 5y

blithebuoyant Ooooooh thank you for reminding me! I‘ll check the hashtags and see if there‘s a Litsy cabin? I am brand new to #NaNoWriMo though. 5y

CocoReads I‘m not going to be able to do it this time. I‘ve got my certification exam coming up at the end of April and I‘m not nearly ready for it. Good luck though and maybe I‘ll be able to do the one in July. 5y

RainyDayReading I did last year, but it‘s not going to work out this time around. Keeping my fingers crossed that I‘ll be able to jump in this summer and finish my Nano from 2018 up. 5y

TK-421 @CocoReads Good luck to you too! Hope you‘ll be able to participate in July 5y

TK-421 @RainyDayReading 🤞 5y

TK-421 @wanderinglynn Camp is great for doing revision! I‘m working on my 2014 Nano novel. 5y

CocoReads @TK-421 I‘m planning on doing July. Probably just edits but I‘ll need something for stress relief after the next couple months. In addition to prepping for my exam, we‘re short handed and one of my co workers is taking June off because his wife is having knee surgery. Leaving us even thinner on staff. So I‘m pretty sure I‘m going to need July! I‘ll be cheering everyone on though! 5y

TK-421 @jmofo @blithebuoyant 🙌 I don‘t know if anyone has started a Litsy cabin yet. I was thinking of posting about that to see if anybody is interested 5y

blithebuoyant @TK-421 I couldn‘t find anyone who had. Definitely somebody tag me if someone starts a cabin! 5y

TK-421 @CocoReads That‘s rough 🙁 Sounds like you‘ll definitely need a break! 5y

Self-Editing for Fiction Writers | Renni Browne, Dave King

It's April, which means #CampNanowrimo! Usually, I'm on the ball, scribbling and typing furiously as soon as the month starts, but this time I haven't even touched my WIP or looked for a #revision cabin to join! Not good 😟 Ugh! I hope I can get back on track this weekend. Any other #NanosofLitsy / #LittenWrimos in the same boat?

llwheeler Camp NaNo isn't the same word goal as NaNo? I'd just assumed it was... 15k in a month is much more doable for me. Maybe I'll look into it this year... 6y

wanderinglynn Me! I had high hopes to start revising the store I wrote in November. Here it is April 4 & I haven‘t even picked it up. And like you, haven‘t looked at cabins or anything since I signed up for CampNaNo. 😕 6y

TK-421 @llwheeler For Camp, you get to set your own goal! There's also the option to be in a "cabin", which is a group of writers (max 20, I think), with a message board/chat room where Campers can talk, ask for advice, cheer each other on, etc. Camp Nano months are April & July. 6y

TK-421 @wanderinglynn Glad I'm not the only one! What's your Nano name? I'll add you as a buddy! 6y

llwheeler @TK-421 Oooh. Well that sounds way better for me than NaNo! Thanks for explaining 😊 6y

dylanisreading Me! Haven't written a word yet. 6y

wanderinglynn @TK-421 I‘m wanderinglynn on NaNo too. 😀 6y

TK-421 @wanderinglynn Thanks! I'll add you! 6y

TK-421 @Bianca Glad I'm not the only one, but sorry you're struggling too. There's still plenty of time left, thankfully! 6y
