Child #3, Upcoming Trip
In honor of National Poetry Month, Child #3 has a poem up on the Class of 2k8's blog!!
Please pop over and see his brilliance!In other news, I'm packing my bags. I'm headed to Phoenix for a writers' conference this weekend. It'll be a terrific time for several reasons:
1. I get to meet my agent, the amazing and wonderful Rachel Vater, for THE VERY FIRST TIME EVER!
2. I'll be doing some writing research at a real-live (pun intended) cemetery, middle school and a couple of other Phoenix locations. So, if you're in the area and spot a cute (Hertz has assured me) little rental car with a Garmin stuck on the windshield and a woman with beautiful hair (I got new highlights yesterday) at the wheel, honk and wave!
3. I have a room all to myself in a swanky hotel.
4. I'll get some decent uninterrupted writing time. (The revisions on book #2 are coming along swimmingly, BTW. Don't fret, Uncle B., I'll be done on time.)
5. Writers' conferences are always fun!
6. I'll be hanging out with RACHEL VATER, THE BRILLIANT AGENT WHO HELPED MAKE MY DREAMS COME TRUE! (Yes, I know this is very similar to #1, but I'M SO EXCITED!)
Should I take pictures for you guys? I could, although my cheap digital camera isn't always kind to her subjects...
In the throes of all this excitement, I'm throwing caution to the winds and heading to Target without a list!
I've missed you, dear blogging friends. I've been so busy with revisions that I haven't been bopping around to all your blogs as usual. Bear with me, please. Once the book is in, I'll catch up!
And thank you Laura of Catholic Teacher Musings for including me in your poem. What an honor!
