Picture This: Playroom Redo
http://sfhardy.blogspot.com/2013/02/playroom-redo.html
Wednesday, February 27, 2013. A few years ago, our playroom was featured in Southern Living. Magazine. The photographer came to take pictures of some other rooms in our house, and while he was there my girls (look how young they were! Were in their playroom cutting and drawing the whole time. After shoving lots of clutter behind him and away from the camera lens, he snapped their picture and they made it into the magazine. Voila! Here is the same room today:. So now our old dining room will become our de...

Picture This: Middle School Beauty Review
http://sfhardy.blogspot.com/2012/11/middle-school-beauty-review.html
Thursday, November 29, 2012. Middle School Beauty Review. Yes You read the title of this post correctly. I'm going to write about the Beauty Review that is happening at our public school this weekend for Middle School girls. Just curious . . . do you think that there could be a worse age to put young girls through a contest where they are judged based on their appearance (and proficiency with the use of body glitter)? Okay, maybe those toddler beauty pageants are worse. But still. Stop over at my website.

Picture This: Revision Process
http://sfhardy.blogspot.com/p/revision-process.html
After I sold my book to Viking, I was fortunate enough to work with a brilliant editor and art director. Here is an example of how the opening spread of Puzzled by Pink changed throughout the revision process . This was the opening spread as it appeared in the first dummy that I sent to Viking. This is the main character Izzy who is standing outside of her house talking about her sister's birthday party. Much better, yes? I replied, "Oh dear. I've drawn it wrong, haven't I? Give me more color! Was the re...

On My Mind | Shanda McCloskey, Children's Illustrator
http://www.shandamc.com/catrgories/on-my-mind
Shanda McCloskey, Children's Illustrator. My Favorite Childhood Robot! Filed under: On My Mind. April 3, 2015. This is Vicki, my all-time favorite robot character from the 80’s tv show “Small Wonder”! They say the best material anyone has to pull from (for writing children’s books) is from one’s own childhood. As a kid, I thought this was SO COOL to watch. Maybe it’s why I wrote a robot picture book as an adult! Do you care about any. I dazzled my four-year-old with this show today! Books Are Babies Too!

Plot This: The Braces Saga Continues...
http://plotthis.blogspot.com/2010/09/braces-saga-continues.html
Two writers. Down South. Fried pickles. Too tired to explain. Thursday, September 23, 2010. The Braces Saga Continues. I just had my bottom brackets removed. You see, my overbite was so deep that my top two teeth were the only teeth that touched the bottom. My entire upper jaw was being stopped by the lower brackets. This kept my jaw permanently ajar and made eating solid food impossible. Now, still only one tooth makes contact with the bottom and instead of being my front one, it's the back right molar&...

Two writers. Down South. Fried pickles. Too tired to explain. Monday, August 30, 2010. I Have Hit a Wall. I have hit a wall. A wall I have avoided for a long time now. A wall most professional authors need to learn how to climb. A wall I have learned to hate. A wall called. OUTLINING. As most of you know, I am in the process of revising my book, but "revising" isn't a strong enough word. I am in the process of a full-on rewrite. This is something I chose to do. To do this, but actually writing. Well, som...
