SCBWI LA 2014


Whenever I get home from a writing conference, I feel inspired. At the same time, I’m slightly overwhelmed. There’s so much amazing information, it’s hard to focus.

So, as I read over my notes and think about all of the wonderful speeches, I circle sentences that tug at my heart. Here’s a few:

If you want to write, find your splinter - the thing that pierces you and won't let you go. -Megan McDonald

Treasure your faults. –Meg Rosoff

Be brave in your writing, even if you are not always brave in your life. 
–Judy Blume

SCBWI is an incredible organization and I’m so grateful to be a member.
