I was finally about to register for the
SCBWI Winter Conference, and I can't wait to hear
Sara Zarr and
Lois Lowry and
Linda Sue Park speak. And knowing the great
Mo Willems and
Jane Yolen will be participating in panel discussions is just icing on the cake. It also doesn't hurt that I'm spending an extra day in NYC to go by
The Strand and
Books of Wonder.
A year ago, I had never been to a writing conference, but there's something magical that happens when a bunch of writers get in the same space like this. It inspires you. It encourages you. It makes you realize how much work you have to do.
