{Quick Early Morning Update: Looks like my first column is already up. It’s here<\/a><\/strong>.}<\/em><\/p>\n

I wasn’t sure when Kirkus<\/em> was going to announce this, but it’s clearly already up at their site, so I’ll share it here as well:<\/p>\n

I’ll be writing weekly columns over at Kirkus Reviews<\/em> — for the new Kirkus Book Blogger Network, that is. My columns will be all about children’s lit and a lot like what I do here at 7-Imp, but just … well, more economically-worded. (Yes, here I can jibber-jabber to my heart’s content, but I’ll have actual word limits there, which is always a good exercise for me.)<\/p>\n

I’m very excited. Incidentally, this doesn’t mean an end to 7-Imp or any such thing. Just a different venue for me, I suppose. Come join me? Here’s<\/font><\/a><\/strong> the info all about the gig and my fellow bloggers in many categories. I’ll give a hoot and a holler (that’s a technical term, if you live in the South) when my first column goes up. <\/p>\n

I’m excited. Nervous. Excited. And nervous. <\/p>\n

(And That Picture over there? Gah. Clearly, I had to take a picture of myself with a cell phone camera. I’m RIGHT UP IN YOUR FACE, aren’t I? I should have just gone ahead and thrown in a “mwah!” in a speech balloon, since my noggin is just so THERE. Also, the sci-fi\/fantasy blogger added “he also likes bagels” at the end of his bio. I like him already. I should have said something about coffee. I want a do-over.)<\/p>\n

See you over at Kirkus<\/em>, too, I hope. If you’re so inclined to stop by, that is. I will make note here of columns that are published over there, and it should be weekly. <\/p>\n

And, because I am certain I don’t say it enough, thanks for visiting 7-Imp, for joining me in the conversation about children’s lit. You folks are my people. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
