Three years old!My, my.
And I almost missed it. But while searching for a book title in the recesses of my blog, there it was-- my very first post.
I started this blog after a discussion following a Media Bistro class taught by editor Joy Peskin on Writing for Children. All present agreed that writers needed an internet presence. Prospective agents and editors do google!

My original intent was to write book reviews and the occasional post about writing, writing activities, and the journey to publication. And I'm still here.
Maybe I have overwritten about a few things- Food, specifically pimento cheese...
And yes, I love quoting writers. I'm a big Eudora Welty fan. Sometimes I combine the two, like in this quote from Miss Eudora:
"When asked what kind of art would be for 'everybody' there can only be one answer: the best."
I've blogged about libraries. I've blogged about my hometowns. I've done those book reviews and I've talked about writing conferences I attended. I got a ton of hits when I blogged about The Help. I got quite a few comments when I wrote about my dad. I've mostly tried to keep on topic so every post usually has a story attached.
Thanks for reading and I hope you'll stick around.
Very well done, Miss G! I'm mostly impressed at how often you manage to post. And interesting stuff, too. You are my gold standard...
