Musings about some of my favorite fantasy literature for young readers, comics old and new, the peculiar publishing industry, the future of books, kids today, and the writing process.
Today I head to the SCBWI New England annual conference, where tomorrow morning I'm leading a workshop on plotting challenges in children's books. The first step in assembling this workshop was, of course, finding alliterative labels for the main qualities that I think make up a good plot.
As with my 2006 presentation on narrative voices, this workshop will be brought to us by the letter P.
