Fellow SCBWI WWA members Julie Paschkis, Julie Larios, Laura Kvasnosky and Margaret Chodos-Irvine recently started a group blog to talk about their work (they are all in a children’s book-critique group together) and their thoughts about their work.
They plan to post weekly taking turns. Please visit the blog here. And help them get the word out!

"Reading Like a Writer" Class
Seattle poet and picture book writer Julie Larios is presenting a class through Field's End, "Reading Like a Writer," on Bainbridge Island on two Sundays, November 7 and 14, from 2-4 p.m. The cost is $50 for individuals, and groups of 5 or more registering together cost is $40 per person.
Seattle poet Julie Larios teaches in the MFA program in Writing for Children and Young Adults at Vermont College of Fine Arts and has been published widely in reviews and magazines such as The Atlantic Monthly, Ploughshares, Threepenny Review, and Poetry Northwest. She is the author of four poetry collections for children and has had work included twice in The Best American Poetry series. Recently she was awarded a fellowship by the Washington State Arts Commission/Artist Trust. Find out more about Julie at her blog.
Details and registration at the Field's End website.
We turn to books for many reasons – for intellectual stimulation, entertainment, solace, the satisfaction of personal curiosity, the mastering of new skills, and the simple camaraderie of fellow readers. Each of these pleasures can be developed and deepened by learning how to read like a writer. Using the book Reading Like a Writer by Francine Prose as a guide, we’ll look at strategies writers use to pull readers into their stories. We’ll focus on devices both large and small (from narrative arcs to the artful sentence) and share careful observations about a handful of wonderful books, including the National Book Award winner Let the Great World Spin by Colum McCann.

Julie Larios on Poetry Friday
Julie Larios's blog (which you can find on the left, along with craft-related blogs by our chapter colleagues), has this fabulous poem. It's just right for Friday the 13th.
Happy howling, everyone. And be sure to check out her whole post.
Late Night Thoughts
Why not
howl at the moon?
Soon it will be sun-up --
who knows what happens after that?
This might be it, your one wolf-throated chance.
You know, the sun never rises
at night -- what kind of friend
is that? Howl now!
Why not.?
