Oh, hello there. Yes, it's been a while. I've missed you too. What have I been doing? The usual. Say, have I told you about my new favorite book? NO? Well, then. I'd like to introduce to BOLIVAR, by Sean Rubin.

The SCBWI Fall Conference began on Saturday and ended on Sunday. I, however, am still riding the high. It has been very hard to come back to earth after floating in such a creative universe.
