Which do you want first? Hmmm. I'll give you the meatier one:
School Library Journal has a nice, balanced article on the Patricia Polacco/McGraw Hill stuff.
Publisher's Weekly has the story of a book sold by blog-word of mouth.
(Tip o' my hat to Fuse #8 for both those.)
But there's no one but me to blame for eating up all your free time by telling you that Babble has been upgraded, making it easier, I think, to obsessively spend time finding alllllll the words. Oh, goodie!
I curse you for introducing me to Babble. I did not DID NOT need any help procrastinating, thank you very much. :-)
ReplyDeleteI should be spending my time writing my next book or at least writing Fibs but, sigh, I am, alas, addicted to Babble which at least is better on my wrists than Tetris.

Babble is simply a great game, unfortunately. I broke the biggest addiction by doing a couple complete boards so now I don't NEED to do that, since I proved to myself I could. But it's sure easy to spend more time than expected there. And like you, it's my biggest game-vice since Tetris.
ReplyDeleteThanks, SRA/McGraw-Hill for taking the time to come here. I have a follow-up question for you posted in my blog right here.
ReplyDeleteThank you for trying to set the record straight, but I would love further clarification.
Now it's Tuesday the 17th, and despite many requests, no comment. On the plus side, Patricia Polacco has posted more on her site.
