"Naughty" children poems
Jill C.:
Have you seen Linda Ashman's M IS FOR MISCHIEF: An A to Z of Naughty Children. It is winning lots of awards.

Vijaya:
I used to have a book of stories about naughty kids by Enid Blyton. Loved it.
I've seen some naughty poems in Cricket and Spider magazines so you might want to try them.
Or pitch them as a collection to Wordsong, Roaring Brook (or is it Millbrook)?
Good luck.

It's comforting to know that there is a community of writers out there. :grouphug2 Thanks for your stories and encouragement.
Vijaya, I just checked out your website and loved the quotes you collected. Here are a few of my favorites...
Follow your inner moonlight; don't hide the madness. - Allen Ginsberg,
Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. -Thomas Alva Edison,
Only those that risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go. - T.S. Eliot
Jill thanks for the link to Linda Ashman's book, I will have to check it out of the library. Chicago Public Library system has finally caught up with the suburban library system and we can now reserve books on-line. I also followed the link to your blog and really appreciated the quote you shared from Alvina Ling. Very inspiring, as is your blog.
I wish I could go to Highlights Chatauqua writing retreat.... Has anyone every attended? If I had one big workshop or class that I could afford to do in a year, would this be the one to do? I also noticed that they offer individual week long workshops with writers and poets like Rachel Kai Dotlich... and then of course there's SCBWI conferences.... which I haven't attended. Everything costs $$$. Well I can hope and plan for the future... just curious if anyone out there has gone to any of the above and would recommend one over the other... Well I gotta run and take my son to school.
Have a great day,
Stacy
Jill C.:
Thanks StacyLynn.....good luck with your poems.
Vijaya:
Thank you, Stacy. If you can afford to go to Chautauqua or one of their workshops, go. They also have scholarships available, too. It is a valuable investment.
Good luck,
Vijaya
