I have been back from the LA SCBWI Annual Conference since last Sunday night, and I am truly trying to hang on to the motivation it gave me. Not only did I meet many interesting people, but I also got an idea for one of my books. And as always, it is so great to be completely surrounded by supportive, like-minded people. At the conference, during the whole weekend, everyone is expected to chit-chat with the strangers nearby. So after a weekend of smiling and talking with strangers, suddenly finding myself in the airport was a rude awakening. I kept having to stop myself from smiling at people and reminding myself not to strike up conversations. Such culture shock!
And now I'm back home, back to my normal job and normal routine, and I'm trying to hold on to the great feeling I had at the conference...holding on to who I felt I was there. I like that person.
By the way, that is legendary Judy Blume being interviewed in the photo above.
