A tip I've picked up (at a screenplay writing course, but all of the advice was absolutely relevant for picture books too) is to think about creating an emotion in the audience. If you're not feeling anything, you're not being entertained. I think about each of my spreads now in terms of what they're delivering emotionally. I try and vary the emotion and keep a clear feeling in mind on each page or spread. This also makes it easier to sense-check illustrator's roughs: is the feeling being conveyed as it should be? Thanks for sharing your tips.Michelle Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09620246793467493696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758609568631190155.post-45782843925220880142016-01-12T08:41:44.598+00:002016-01-12T08:41:44.598+00:00Thanks - great list, both for writing and for form...Thanks - great list, both for writing and for formulating constructive feedback for fellow crit group writers.Jenny Causebrook Mosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13035378749262376099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758609568631190155.post-3856176179962972992016-01-12T00:55:57.811+00:002016-01-12T00:55:57.811+00:00I have to say as a non-poet I've resisted stud...I have to say as a non-poet I've resisted studying poetry forever. But as an aspiring picture book writer I realise now that I should give it a go. Thank you.

No not much noting rhymes as getting a sense of rhythm. <br />Moira Butterfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17355420549929911500noreply@blogger.com
