Children's literature is not for the weak. It is a ruthless cutthroat business with lots of gnashes of the teeth. Children's librarianship, in contrast, is a sweet sweet ride. Now you can hear me as I growl, gargle, and kvetch my way through news, reviews, and interviews. Kidlit podcasting = scary new world.

By the Way...
It has come to my attention that in the midst of my midnight blog-o-thon yesterday (the Random House 2007 Summer Preview) in a haze of last minute linking I managed to scramble a sentence here or there. I know this sounds odd, but I need the nitpicky amongst you to let me know when this happens. Half these posts are blearily double-checked after 12:30 a.m. and I miss stuff all the time. Please, I beg of you, correct my grammar. Mock my sentence structure. Curl your lip at my dangling participles. I'm only one little blogger (in spite of the opinion of the Children's Whidbey Writer's Workshop) and I mess up.
Thanks for the permission! I noticed the slippy fingers you had in that post. One suggestion: we should send our picked nits to you in an e-mail, since your corrections will render a grammar/spelling "comment" irrelevant to subsequent viewers.
ReplyDeleteTrue. I thought about that. But I'm awful at checking my e-mail. It's 12:31 p.m. as I write this and I STILL have not so much as glanced at it today. So comments, in a way, would be faster.
ReplyDeleteYour posts are interesting and informative. I don't notice things like you mention when I am reading a good post. (Sorry about that.)
ReplyDeleteOkee dokey, the comment lines are fine with me.
