SCBWI LA

Roll Call Boom Shaboom!
Roll Call Boom Shaboom!

Yesterday, Derek Molata posted a roll call on his blog for writers attending WisCon. (Which includes me, yay!!)

Um, so today I'm copying him--but for SCBWI LA!

I'm really excited because I'm registered and hoteled and flighted--and I want to know who else is coming!

So I thought I'd leave this post open like a forum! In the comments, let me (and everyone else) know:
  • Are you going?
  • When are you arriving?
  • When are you leaving?
  • Have you been before? And, if so, is there anything you want to share about past experiences?
  • Are you looking for other people to meet up with while there? (The comments section could be a great place to find people!)
  • A link to your blog, so other people can find you.
  • Any questions you have. (Not that I can answer them or anything, but maybe someone else can!)
  • Anything else you want to share =)
As for me: I'm flying in on the 29th and staying til the 4th. Even though the conference ends on the 2nd, Alexandra, Carol, and I are staying a couple extra days to have fun in LA. (Like getting tattoos and piercings and stuff!)

Oh! Oh! Oh! Also, today--I'm guest posting on Ramblings of a Wannabe Scribe! My post is about the joys of being Shannon's CP and it's served with a nice helping of Shannon Shame, so definitely go check it out =)

While I'm Under

So a couple weeks ago I quoted Evanescence--in that I was going under... Underground for a bit to work on revisions. And I'm still there! Revisions are going well, it's a slow but steady kinda process. And, like I said before--I AM making blog rounds, just not leaving tons of comments. But I am reading what you're saying =)

So today, here's proof! Here are some of the cool things being talked about in the blogosphere:

Carol Valdez Miller is having a mayjah contest! Signed books by David Levithan and John Green. Lots of fun things and packages and, trust me, you DON'T want to miss out!! Make sure you check out her Will Grayson Squared Dance Contest!

Simon Larter's having a contest too! You can, like, win cool things. AND if you write him a poem? You get lotsa extra points!

Shannon Messenger's having a contest too! Signed books and journals and candy, OH MY!! Check out her 500 Followers Contest!

Elana Johnson put together this stellar resource post on one sentence pitching.

The one and only Ms. Karen Amanda Hooper wrote about putting warning labels on books.

Hilary Wagner unveiled her Nightshade City Book Trailer!!

I guest blogged about twitter addiction over at Sarah With a Chance =)

Cristin Terrill celebrated Shakespeare's birthday.

Portia Sisco wrote about mapping out your editing strategy--fabulous advice for sure!

Alexandra Shostak got a ridiculously cutie pie new kitty! Quentin... <3 <3 <3

Natalie Bahm wrote about e-readers and going green...

Okay, I could go on and on and on, because there are some awesome posts out there--but I can't. I have to get back to revisions. But make sure you check out anything you'd missed!!

Oh, and at some point this week? We vote on my deal with the universe. Last chance to throw your suggestion in!! Click here if you haven't done it already!!

Wedding Dance Edition

This is what I wanted to do for my own wedding. My husband even agreed! But certain other people put the kibosh on it. So every now and then, I let myself live vicariously through this video...  


Happy Friday!
