WW SCBWI Update

We're one (big) day into the Western Washington Writers' Conference. Have learned oodles! There's a lot of talk about the trends, about the economy, about e-books.

Last night, NYT Bestseller Ellen Hopkins said it all: "You can't just write a good book anymore. You have to write a great book."

I love that. I love Ellen!

Illustrator Adam Rex is my new fave: he's brilliant and talented, and super quirky.

Having so much fun with Suzanne Young, and the two clever girls to whom I introduced myself (more later).

But I really miss my kids!

Enough to drive home 8 straight hours tomorrow night?

Absolutely!
