ANSWER: Sorry, this was kind of a trick question:
There is no maximum length but 40 inches is the minimum length - I guess they don't want any toothpick players.

Bridget Zinn On-Line Auction
Bridget Zinn, a wonderful writer and even nicer person, is fighting a battle against colon cancer. Our on-line community is trying to help defray a few of the expenses associated with her struggle.
If you'd like to check out some great items up for auction and help a young woman at the same time, check out Bridget Zinn's Auction, going on now.
One of the items up for auction is a 20 page critique.
Jessica Lee Anderson, ICL instructor and author of the forthcoming young adult novel, Border Crossing (Milkweed Editions, October 2009), will critique 20 pages (plus synopsis) of a middle grade/young adult novel or 2 picture books (fiction or nonfiction)
Also, the winner will receive a signed copy of Trudy (Milkweed Prize for Children’s Literature, Milkweed Editions, 2005).
THOUGHT FOR THURSDAY
HUMMM: Under the rules of billiards, for all you poolshark/wordsmiths out there, what is the maximum length allowed for a cue stick or do you know the minimum length?

What's on Your Wall Wednesday
I love walking into homes and looking at the way other people decorate their homes. It always leaves me feeling a little more inspired to go back home and do . . . something. Well, I thought I'd share one picture we have hanging on our wall. This is a piece of art my husband inherited when his grandmother died over in Denmark. It was shipped to him and we have had it ever since.
I hope you like it too. And if you want to see some other ideas, stop by Grits and Glamour.
