The pain in my side from coughing turned out to be a broken rib. Each cough is a big OWEEE. But the rib cage belt and painkillers are helping, and the cough is getting better.
Today I am going to take this opportunity to point you to a wonderful resource for children’s writers: Write4Kids.com. Scroll down on the home page for a long list of very helpful articles. They also have a terrific newsletter, Children’s Book Insider, and they’ve posted sample articles here. If you’re a children’s writer, you need this resource!
