Thank you so much for choosing me as your ...Wow! Thank you so much for choosing me as your 'Blogger of the Week'! I'm so ... well... I don't think 'flattered' quite covers the happy dance I just did around my kitchen. :-D<br /><br />To anyone who comes to visit me there: I'm afraid I've been a bit distracted by my WIP and an editing project, so the Cauldron has gotten a little dusty, but I'll have some new content for you ASAP!<br /><br />And thank you so much for the content here! I don't write YA or children's books specifically, but I always find valuable information here that works for any genre.<br /><br />Also...<br />You put up a picture of a corgi puppy, and I just can't resist a corgi puppy (just ask Rabbit).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005062827798430682.post-36440687229464910242013-07-03T09:24:03.788-04:002013-07-03T09:24:03.788-04:00I loved your posts, so thank YOU!

Google Reader is the tool I use to read...Hi Carol,<br /><br />Google Reader is the tool I use to read all the posts that come out from the blogs and information sources to which I subscribe. I usually end up going through 500 posts a day looking for new information, information that is written in a new way, and things that interest me. It's also the way I can make sure I give a shout out to people who deserve it by tweeting and, up until now, sharing the posts with our readers here at Adventures in YA Publishing. It would be flat out impossible for me to physically visit all those blogs, but with Google Reader, I can scan through snippets, mark things I want to come back to for a closer read, and then read the full articles when I have a few minutes at a time. <br /><br />For anyone who is interested, I actually do not read in Google Reader itself, but in Mr. Reader, an app for iPad that syncs with Google Reader. Feedly has announced that it will be replacing Google Reader with much of the same functionality, and I found out today that Mr. Reader will be able to integrate with Feedly. Woo hoo! That's awesome, and it means that I will be able to maintain my twitter feed by providing the great resources that I find throughout the week. <br /><br />Okay, end techie stuff.<br /><br />Congrats on finishing Messenger! Did you like it? <br /><br />And HUGE congrats on hitting the last chapter of your WIP. That's cause for celebration! I hope it's close to being a final draft. Mine always need at least 8 before I end up with something semi-coherent! :)<br /><br />Hope you are having a great weekend!

I finished listening to Messenger by Lois Lowry and am on the last chapter of this draft. AND I got RSS Feed on my blog courtesy of you know who. Big accomplishment!Carol Baldwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10444182118975929045noreply@blogger.com
