Writers & illustrators: Develop a thick skin. Being able to take criticism is part of the business, before AND after publication.
Happy National Poetry Month! I’m participating in Robert Lee Brewer’s April Poem-A-Day Challenge, and have been posting some of my poems on Twitter at @inkyelbows and have also been posting some on my Poetry For Young Readers page.
Of course, this isn’t based at all from my own experience. Ahem.
Thanks to Traci Van Wagoner, who provided the winning caption for the challenge I recently posted in social media.
