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.
Editorial Anonymous recently asked you pretty kittens to come up with cool first lines. Well, the winners are in. She's separated everything into categories. You've got your Humor, Rhythm, Voice, Tension, and Honorable Mentions.
Of said Honorable Mentions, Ms. Anonymous mentions of the submissions, "Here are a few that I have a slightly uneasy feeling about, but I'd keep reading. And after all, that's the main thing." And I made one! Hooray, uneasiness!
Congratulations! I find myself hoping it's the "head in the closet" one.
