Most of the books on my wish-to-read list are picture books, but there are also some chapter books, middle grade books, YA books and a few adult books. I'm working my way through the list, though since I keep adding new books to my to-read shelf, it hasn't been getting any smaller! You're welcome to scroll through my shelves to see all the books on my wish list. (less)

When I notice this I have to take a deep breath and remind myself that it's okay when the first draft isn't good. First drafts can be improved with revision, and sometimes new ideas will pop up while you're actually writing.(less)
