Thanks you guys. :-)  I'll definitely check out scbwi Dialyn.  Another children's writing group recommended it to me, but I hadn't gotten around to it yet.  That group, which is on Yahoo, turned out to be a bit too advanced for me just now..not that I'm a novice writer, by any means.  I've been writing since I was in grade school, right up through college, and now for my course with ICL (Institute of Children's Literature, which came highly recommended), and have always had a talent for it.  The part that I AM a novice at, however, is the business side of writing..word counts, which publishers want what, etc.  I'm sure the scbwi site will tell me that, and I'm supposed to get a Children's Book Writers Market Guide (I THINK that's what it's called..again, I'm a novice at the business side of things) from ICL sometime soon as well.  Anyway, so what DOES everyone here write?  Do you just post stuff?  Are any of you published?
