Writing for children is murder. A chapter has to be boiled down to a paragraph. Every word has to count.
Dr. SeussIf things start happening, don't worry, don't stew, just go right along and you'll start happening too.
Dr. SeussThe problem with writing a book in verse is, to be successful, it has to sound like you knocked it off on a rainy Friday afternoon. It has to sound easy. When you can do it, it helps tremendously because it's a thing that forces kids to read on. You have this unconsummated feeling if you stop.
