A weekend of the book

This weekend, Cyn and I had (independently) a great weekend with the New England and Austin SCBWI chapters, respectively. Cyn was up in Massachusetts keynoting at the New England conference, while I stayed here in town for the Carol Lynch Williams writing salon (on Saturday).

Above, Debbie Gonzales, and Carol.

Writing exercises were fruitful, critiques were frank and honest, and the opportunities to discuss WiPs were plentiful. Altogether, a very fun day.

Sunday, Carol dropped in to BookPeople to sign her book, The Chosen One.

Some of the gang gather around the lunch table.

Thanks to Debbie G. and everyone who assisted with all the details and food! Also, thanks to Carol for braving the tornadoes in Oklahoma!
