Hello
and hello!
What
a summer we are having! I can't believe it's almost over and
soon it will be time to go back to school.
I
taught two workshops earlier in the month for the Society of
Children's Writers and Illustrators. It was an amazing conference
with hundreds and hundreds of very creative writers, artists,
art directors, publishers, editors and agents. Everyone was
so incredibly nice! I came home inspired and can't wait for
the next one!
Sending
warm thoughts of hot tea and cocoa to all my friends down in
the Southern Hemisphere and cooling thoughts of iced lemonade
and swimming pools to my friends up here in the north.
And wishing creative adventures for everyone where ever you
may be,
