Unsolicited writing advice, no. 76696: Reading (both widely and critically) is the secret to writing well. No one can expect to write unless they also read, and understand the value of reading.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 1378: Many would-be authors make the mistake of believing that you "start off" as a children's writer, then "move on" to writing for adults. This is both completely incorrect, and terribly disrespectful to children's authors.

Looking forward to reading all your fabulous flash!
