Because I Miss the Flying Monkeys
I’m about to head back to the land of Oz. Which, in this instance, involves about thirty hours of travel time and being awake for just shy of two days. So that’s going to be fun. Usually I don’t start hallucinating until I pass the fifty hour mark though, so it should be fine. But […]

Reassurance and Validation: These Are the Things That Publishers Are Made of?
August 13, 2013

I spent four days last week at the SCBWI Summer Conference in LA (writers, agents and publishers, oh my). It’s a conference I always enjoy.
