Communing With Other Writers


Although I've had to curtail travel this year
because of our move to Maine
last weekend I spoke at an NESCBWI conference
(New England Society for Children's Book Writers and Illustrators)
in not-too-far-away
Springfield, MA.

So refreshing to be among fellow
wordsmiths
and
artsmiths

So much energy and enthusiasm
for 
books

I had the chance to meet
Grace Lin*
and her bambino
(that's us above)
and
Kate Messner*
and
many other coooool people.

Now I'm back home with the
boxes
boxes
boxes.

  1. Sorry you are still dealing with all those boxes. Can't wait until you are settled and can show us around. Nice that you had a little break so you could meet with other writers.
