Tuesday 12 x 12 – Jana Locke
Jana is a writer after my own heart! Even being full-time writer, the majority of my writing does not take place with me huddled over my computer trying to get the words out. I write like Jana writes, and follow my books the way Jana follows her books. BUT I’m not going to steal any more […]
Tuesday 12 x 12 – Shelley Smithson
Please welcome today’s Tuesday 12 x 12 guest, Shelley Smithson, a fellow Michigander. I love Shelley’s realization that there is no “typical” writer. We’re all unique and have stories to write only we can tell. Writing is indeed a “calling.” Thank you, Shelley, for sharing your journey with us! The 12 x 12 writing challenge has […]

Tammi Sauer – 12 x 12 Featured Author September
She’s a singing chicken! She’s a monster! She’s a cave kid! She’s an alien! No, those are characters from among her many outstanding picture books (MR. DUCK MEANS BUSINESS is a favorite at our house). In truth, she is really a ROCK STAR picture book author who is unstoppable! With legions of fans, myself included, she delights […]
12 x 12 August 2015 Check-In!
My August check-in is short and not-as-sweet. I revised a draft early in the month but despite best intentions, did not write a new draft. As we start moving into the final months of the year (yikes!), I am going to have to shift into a higher gear. I hope you all had more writing […]

Tuesday 12 x 12 – Katie Furze
When we start on this journey it’s easy to believe, because we love writing and we love picture books, that writing picture books will be easy. I KNOW all of us picture book authors have been in the spot where we realized this is harder than we expected. The step we take next is what defines us […]

Changing that language in your mind is key. In this post, Liz will show you exactly how powerful words can be. Welcome, […]
Tuesday 12 x 12 – Maria Marshall
Writers like Maria are the reason I created 12 x 12. Creating a group where we can come together, encourage each other, learn from each other and inspire each other is what 12 x 12 is all about. Maria is a huge asset to the 12 x 12 community with her critiques and support of […]
