For all you writers out there -- check out today's blog by author and artist Tina Nichols Coury for the Writing Tip of the Day by Terry Pierce. Terry offers some great suggestions about how to tighten and strengthen your story using those highlighters we all have. My fistful fill a mug that lists the top ten reasons to become a librarian.

While you're at it be sure to visit Terry's blog as well for more great thoughts on the writing of children's books. Terry's currently blogging from Vermont College where she's participating in an intense writer's workshop.

Time to get those highlighters out of the mug and back to work.
