I'm excited about this new venture, but I'm still learning, so give me a few weeks to get acclimated. I hope shortly to have some interesting discussions going on the forum, some great craft articles on the site, and some links to children's markets.

Any suggestions any of you have for me, I'll be happy to entertain. Just email questions or comments to:

writingforchildren@bellaonline.com

I've loaded a new article this week:

World Building Through Metaphor
Using homegrown metaphors to build a believable story world.

Please visit the Writing for Children Site for more content about Writing for Children.

To participate in online discussions, come to our Writing for Children community forum.

I hope to hear from you soon, either in the forum or by email.

Feel free to forward this message to family and friends!
