SCBWI - Children's Book Writers

4 days at the SCBWI Conference in LA - One Thousand People at this conference all passionate about children's books - and the impact writing and illustrating and publishing for this young audience can have on the future of our world.

Besides the overwhelming information from numerous well-spoken and entertaining speakers and workshops presented each hour, it brought me up-to-date on my Babar the elephant, Harold and the Purple Crayon favorites. Check out Flotsam, The Three Pigs, and for teens, Grief Girl as my new interests, along with Looking For Alaska as passionate, alive ways to wake up your mind. These all appeal to adults as well.

Even if I weren't already writing, this conference made me Have To Write.
