Before I go …

Oh! I have so much to tell you, but I have got to run. The New England SCBWI Spring Conference starts at noon and I am not even packed yet. Here is the abbreviated report:

1. I completed a draft of my WIP and have sent it off to my trusted readers. Phew!

2. I met Robie Harris at dinner last night, and she was lovely and kind and encouraging. Her presentation afterward inspired me to continue striving to write HONEST books for kids.

3. I finished reading TIPS ON HAVING A GAY (ex) BOYFRIEND, by Carrie Jones, and I highly recommend this hot-off-the-presses YA title by an up-and-coming YA author. I SO hope to run into her this weekend so she can sign my book.

Can you see why I am not packed yet?

More soon …
