Behind the Scenes: “Using Placeholder Words and Stanzas until the Lightbulb Moment” by Debra Shumaker

I absolutely loved Debra Shumaker’s book, FREAKY, FUNKY FISH, so when I learned of her new one, PECULIAR PRIMATES, I invited Debra back in hopes she might share something about it. Her topic in this post is valuable not only for authors, but educators, too! I get stalled way too easily and frequently on imperfect words or phrases in my early drafts.  

Debra is also offering a GIVEAWAY—a copy of PECULIAR PRIMATES!! Leave a comment below to enter the drawing. 

Congratulations to Ashley Sierra, win...
