Writing picture books is hard work

My co-author and I are trying our hand at writing a picture book to get The Life of Riley project going.
Getting all your thoughts into 500- 1,000 words isn't easy.
Joyce [my co-author] seems to have a knack for this that I lack. I admire her abilities so much.
Good thing she is relying on me for the illustrations. Of course, I have possesion of the protagonist Riley.

Have you considered joining the Society for Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI)? I am a member and I just submitted my first picture book, Kitty Can, to a publisher. The SCBWI Scottsdale Writers Critique group is a tremendous help.
