I’m a prepper
What can I say, I’m a prepper. And by prepper, I don’t mean preppy a la cardigans and blazers, I mean I’m a preparer. For the SCBWI Summer Conference, which starts on Friday (holy cow!) I’ve got more notes than I know what to do with. Not kidding – I have a 12 page spreadsheet. (This should be a clue as to the kind of student I am.) I want to get as much out of this conference as I can, so I’ve been spending my time the last few weeks taking notes and reading up on the conference faculty. Not only has the research helped in narrowing down the speakers I want to see, it’s also helped me start a list of agents who I’d like to submit to in the future. Getting ready for the conference is also like studying for the best kind of test – one where you hope to prove yourself professional and involved in your community. Hopefully I pass, and if nothing else, this has been such an incredible learning experience. I can’t wait for Friday. I may not sleep for the next two days!

I can’t wait either! I’ve been getting jumpy and jangly about it all week:) Yayayayayayayay!
Sounds like you’re plenty prepared. Have a great time! I wish I was going this year!
I wish you were going too so I could thank you for all the great advice you put out there! So since I can’t, the internet will have to do. Thank you thank you thank you!
I have the feeling I”m not going to be able to sleep on Thursday night!
I had a 16-page spreadsheet last year but seemed to have none this year. Do not do as I do. Stay cool, calm, and collected.
Oh, wait. You did! (I should learn from you!!) I hope you tell everyone at the next Schmooze how all that research paid off (or if it didn’t!).
I was so happy to have you and Mara as conference buddies!!
