As a published crime writer I'm going to post what it's like to be a professional writer, the good and the bad days, writing and not writing.

Reading
Whenever I try something new I first read things that are the same type. I did that with Young Adults, PI’s and Police Procedurals. This time I got a bunch of anthologies and am trying to read a few stories a day. They’ve helped me already. I think I’ll be able to do this. I’ll start writing next Tuesday instead of reading what I have of my novel. That will come after I finish the story. I have a germ of an idea.

Good luck with the story, Sandra, Good to hear you've gotten into the form.
Thank you...but I haven't gotten into the form yet. I think I have to write the story before I can say that.
Sorry about SB being so expensive. Especially since I get nothing from it. It's a collectors item now. That feels so strange that I would produce something that collectors would want.
SB was never intended as a children's book. It was for adults, like Eloise, but it crossed over and many children liked it.
I wish you the best with Hildy Hildy.
I really enjoyed the stories in Damn Near Dead and some of the Noir Series (Twin City Noir, Chicago Noir, etc.)
