crowded banks of daisies
drowse and nod,
smiling

Notes: I’m attending a picture book master class today at the Writer’s Loft in Massachusetts. After I took a similar class in the spring, four editors showed interest in one of my picture book manuscripts. (Woo-hoo!) To get an agent, at least of few of the other manuscripts I’ve written have to be at the same level. In other words, you have to have between three to six finished, polished picture book manuscripts that an agent loves. Are you part of a writing community?

Congratulations on your success, Brenda! Have fun in your writer’s class. It will be impossible to become drowsy and sleep through the session.

You’re right. I wasn’t drowsy at all. I did get really tired after six sustained hours of intense thinking, though. 🙂

Are you writing picture books, too? With middle grade, young adult or adult, you only need the one book. So hard with picture books!

Thanks, Dan. 🙂 If only the financial rewards were better. Laboring for pitiful earnings is a downer.

I read it first as “crowds of daisies” … only eight words and I shorten it?? “Drowse and nod” are perfect descriptors, I can totally see it. Hope you enjoy your class today! You are so determined. I am sure you’ll reach your goals.

Perhaps I imagine I’ll be a daisy today, drowsing and nodding at this class. 🙂
