Submissions
Every year I write 40 picture books. That’s a lot of books and most of that writing inevitably happens in December as I’m busy trying to make my goal.
Why 40?
It just happened organically one year and the next year, I thought I should repeat that act. After that, it became a tradition. I find writing therapeutic and meeting a goal, any goal is absolutely thrilling for me.
But last year I began what I hope is not a new tradition, I submitted maybe 12 picture books to publishers, only 12. That’s a very small number compared to what I was subbing in 2011, 2010 and 2009 and going back to 2004 when first began serious submissions.
It’s already March of 2013 and I’ve yet to sub a manuscript. I better get going, huh?
