SCBWI Conference Notes: Rachel Cohn

[edithspage]

We are operating under the "better late than never" policy here at Locket's blog. :) These notes are from Rachel Cohn's keynote: Embracing (and Resisting the Urge to Throttle) Your Inner TeenRachel suggests we think of ourselves as a teen. Remember your goth phase or whatever phase you went through and the attachments you had to pop culture things

Okay, I'm with you on the music. I can't write to it. Thanks for these notes!

I need sweet silence, too.

But ARGH! I also miss all those diaries, letters, notebooks and lost wishes/dreams/crushes/angst that I let go in an effort to "grow up" and, alas, I'm just as immature without them (and lacking all that gorgeous material as well). Drat.

I would be very boring if I left home without my sick and twisted dreams.

By the way, is my pizza free if it hasn't gotten here yet?

OMG, you crack me up so much, Kim! So glad to see you on my comment list! And congrats on getting into the One on One! It's so awesome & you are going to LOVE it!

I am a conference-going fool lately, so if I have a couple of nickels left in savings by then I will be there.

I've tried listening to music while writing and I do okay but I prefer the quiet sounds of my backyard . . . the sound of water from my koi pond and the tinkling of the brass wind chime in the afternoon breeze.

Thanks for posting this info. I've always wanted to go but never been able to make it. I'm living vicariously through you :)
