No more books about grandmas? That's like saying, no more books about squirrels. It's not the grandmas or the squirrels that make or break a pb, it's the story, story, story. How about: no more corny, sappy books about grandmas and squirrels?What I want is no more books that are aimed at grandma more than they are at children. Much of what I see in slush has this quality, and comes from a motivation that is more "oh my grandchildren are so precious" or "oh my relationship with my grandchildren is so precious" or "god I wish my grandchildren were as obsessed with me as I am with them", none of which are attitudes that the actual grandchildren can identify with.
Put whatever characters in your manuscripts you like. But write them for children, or face my wrath.
I warn people about the squirrel manuscript epidemic just as an fyi. If there's suddenly 10 thousand squirrels on your front lawn, you're not going to care that one of them might be the most beautiful squirrel ever born. You're going to break out your broom and start laying about you with abandon.

I totally agree with your comments about writing books aimed at children, not their grandparents. Now about beating up small creatures that overpopulate your lawn--I am a huge fan of SLUGS IN LOVE, but one slug on my porch is cause for battle.
Last night, I was watching Zooey 101 on Nickelodeon (not necessarily by choice), and the entire storyline was that all the 13ish boy wanted for his birthday was a visit from his dear beloved grandma who happened to share his birthday. My ten year old turned to me and said "What stupid kid would want that for his present?"
This from a kid who does dearly love his grandparents...

Your blog is too good. Thank you for this one. Topic of the essay is the main thing to be focused when you start writing an essay. Mostly, teachers give the topics if you are at lower class. But as you grow and go to higher class, selection of topic is your duty. When you are asked to choose the topic for your essay, you will have a tendency to choose an easy going one. But common topics won’t gain attraction of readers. Choose challenging topics but don’t let it be one about which you have no idea at all. You should have minimum knowledge about it. Research will make you better at that topic. You can take some shocking topic that is truly unimaginable. You can bring up absolutely distinct elements and make some daring reports. This may sound odd. But it works out sometimes. This can be considered as super creative and you will be scored high just because of the topic alone. Tell something new. Tell an ordinary topic in a new manner. Tell an ordinary topic from new perspective. Every kind from these is good for scoring. Another kind of topic is a topic which is relevant in those days. A trending issue or phenomenon is good as a topic. You can collect a lot of data related to that topic easily because it is trending. News papers and web resources will give you as many details as possible. Even you can select something which is haunting you. You can select your personal issue that are related to society, school etc. There is another way to make the reader interesting. A brave confession of your private life is more than enough. I swear no one will go back from this topic. But make sure you are not going beyond limit. I am not really favoring this because it can create problems in your upcoming life.
Nice post. it's so sincerely and heartily. It's not so easy task to write quality content. I know it because I'm a writer of the nursing thesis. Thesis not my favorite kind of assignment. I prefer essays.
