Veerry busy today. I’m working an outline (and cooking up evil mean girl tricks for a book…) and writing an article for Children’s Writer. Yep, that big batch of queries I sent out at the end of April is starting to come back. Trickling, thankfully, but still coming. I’ve got a few windows open on my protesting laptop and am switching back and forth between the article, my outline and Dreamweaver for the new Website I’m designing for fall launch.

I got the SCBWI LA summer conference brochure yesterday. The line up looks fantastic! Wow. It’s neat to “know” so many people on the speaking list and it sounds like it’ll be a blast. Is anyone going? The date doesn’t look as if it’ll work for me, but I’ll be reading lots of attendees’ blogs to get the scoop.

I started blogging today as a distraction to keep myself from chasing down the mailman. I sent a VIQ (very important query) to a big, glossy teen mag about a month ago and I’m trying not to check the mail the second it is put into the box. The mailman prob thinks I’m a stalker because yesterday I almost took the mail from his hands to see if my VIQ had a response.
