Thankful Clickety Thursday
1. The muse is still with me, bless him. I'm on page 49 of the non-fiction wip now. That means I added almost five pages today. Best of all, I left it in a spot where I know what I'm going to say next.
2. Reading to kindergartners. My Rotary goes to the local elementary school one Thursday morning a month to read to the students. The kindergarten class I visit is studying tadpoles and frogs right now, so I read Jack Kent's The Caterpillar and the Polliwog and Stephen Kellogg's The Mysterious Tadpole and we had a grand time.
3. Sunshine and another two loads of laundry out on the line.
4. Registrations are coming in now for "Timeless Craft, Timely Skills," a conference sponsored by the League of Vermont Writers and chaired by yours truly. We've got a great line-up of workshops, including strands for fiction, non-fiction, and writing for children, and we're offering pitch sessions with agents, and on Sunday morning we have some workshops on the business end of things. Details are at www.leagueofvermontwriters.org. I'm also thankful that I'm working with a wonderful committee.
5. After the Green Mountain Book Award presents to the Vermont School Library Association's meeting tomorrow, I'm off the the New England SCBWI Conference, "Moments of Change," in Fitchburg, Mass. I'm looking forward to seeing many LJ friends and attending some great workshops (this was one of those conferences where it's hard to make a choice between workshops).
I'm not planning on posting while I'm there, but who knows.
Happy Thursday, everyone.
