Happy Graduation To Me

When asked what they want for graduation, most people I know would say, “a car,” or “a vacation.”  But am I most people?  Certainly not.  My long-anticipated reward for years of toil in academia is registration for the SCBWI Summer Conference!  Yay!!! This conference, held annually, is a jam-packed whirlwind of a weekend.  Filled with amazing speakers ranging from authors to agents to editors, as well as opportunities for critiques, pitches, and meeting other writers, the weekend is going to be a blast.  I didn’t get to go last year since I was busy getting married (guess I can’t use that excuse twice!) so this will be my first official SCBWI conference.  I’ve heard nothing but wonderful things from my writer friends who have attended in past years, so I am very much looking forward to it.  I hear it can be a little overwhelming and exhausting, but I’m unfazed.  Registration starts at 10 AM PST today, so be sure to head over to the SCBWI website.  The site recently underwent a facelift and it’s super pretty and easy to navigate.  If you have any tidbits about the conference, feel free to leave them in the comments section!
