Default Writing for Children

I know that most of this board is about freelance writing, article writing etc. but I just wanted to post an invitation to anyone that might be interested in writing childrens books. I have started a yahoogroup called Let's Talk Writing for Kids. The direct link is letstalkwritingforkids : Let's Talk Writing for Kids I am limiting the number of members to 10 for now. There will be discussions about the childrens writing market, who buys, what they buy, guidelines etc. We will also have story prompts, things to motivate us to write more and critiques will also be available. So, if you are interested, please join us. Participation is required so lurkers need not apply. After the 10 spots have been filled, I will have a waiting list. If anyone slips into lurkdom, they will be removed and the next on the list invited to join! I look forward to seeing you there!

I'd love to see you all there! I'm going to start with some writing prompts in the morning so if you are interested, join now so you don't miss any of the fun! It's going to be casual but serious. I really want to start writing again and having others hold me accountable is a great thing! Hope to see you there!
