*looks up how much it will cost to get to Chuck’s house to flat-punch him in the trachea*

It’s too expensive – I am but a poor writer!

I will just have to mentally flat-punch you and continue on my writerly way.

The Critterland Desert Adventures were favs in my family. We used to almost chant them (and Scarry Larry is running through my head now dammit!) Cute original stories, fun to read and some had songs in the back which were hilarious…I think they are only available used now as they’ve been out of print for a while.

I didn’t have time to read all the comments, so sorry if these are duplicates. But anything by Marcus Pfister (though maybe a little young still for those stories…they have plots, little ones, but plots just the same) – he does the Rainbow Fish books.

Another fabulous series of books is the “How Do Dinosaurs…” ones by Janet Yolen. My boy fell in love with “How Do Dinosaurs Eat Their Food” and “How Do Dinosaurs Go To School”.

Music, walking with my music playing. Gets me every time.

Each of my interconnected sagas and their characters can be traced back to specific songs I listened to at the time of their unholy conception.

[...] He cites an author who’s is in agreement with him, and who got the ball rolling on this latest round of resistance to mouthy non-traditionalists: Bransford references Chuck Wendig’s post on the topic, Revisiting the Fevered Egos of Self-Publishing. [...]
