Word Weaves

I’m in between. Searching for a good local or online children’s writing course I can afford, and waiting for a portfolio review from an illustrator, who I hope will teach me to make beautiful picture books.  I’ve learned great gobs from my critique group. For over a year, I’ve been reading children’s literature and studying books on children’s writing and illustrating.  But next week, I’ll pass into the third year of my 5th decade and I feel an urgent need to accelerate the learning process.  Why oh why, did I not listen to that voice so many years ago that wanted to write and illustrate? I do believe that everything happens in it’s time, but it’s hard to be patient when you have so much to learn and your on the exit side of life.
