Myth of the Lonely Creative Voice

I will be blogging more about this in the future, but the main reason I gave up blogging for a year and a half was to write a book for my children. After putting all that sweat into the thing, I thought I should at least make a half-hearted attempt to get it published.

On the recommendation of an old friend and published author Amy Timberlake (blog here, other useful stuff here), I purchased Children's, Writer's & Illustrator's Market. Splashed across the corner is a banner that proclaims "Over Half A Million Copies Sold." How encouraging.
