Whew! I spent an hour in the garden this morning (harvested some sugar snap peas, weeded, weeded, weeded, and admired my just-about-to-bloom hollyhocks), then started the post-conference paperwork and email,…
….and then I wrote – for an hour. ‘Twas heavenly.
There were a number of Random Author Sightings, people I saw from a distance, but didn’t get a chance to chat with or terrify.
Bruce Coville
Stephen Chbosky, who wrote Perks of Being a Wallflower
Mo Willems (Knufflebunny) and Jackie Woodson (Feathers) who were in the receiving line because he received a Caldecott Honor and she a Newbery Honor for their awesome books.
John Green, whose newest book Paper Towns (comes out in Sept.) is haunting me, because it’s that good.
Ambassador Jon Scieszka
I did not see David Lubar, but his books had ginormous posters.
The brooding genius of Peter Sis, who also was awarded a Caldecott Honor.
More pictures tomorrow of the folks I played with, and my fangrrl drooling over an author who has been a huge influence on my work.
I’m diving back into my story. Have you done your 15 minutes yet?
