This is one writer's journey to become a published Children's Author. Join the adventure of writing, editing, rejection and ultimately publication. This blog is written honestly from a daily perspective and is woven into the writer's life with its ups and downs.
1. Lots of self doubt as a writer, but today I am going to plow through-

It was good yesterday to purge some self-doubt, take a deep breath and realign myself.  I am not quite where I need to be, yet, but I think I am on the right path. 

There is magic in writing.  There has to be.  A good piece needs to breath on it's own.  I think I have captured that magic in one of my stories, and I am close on a couple others.  Now, it is time work through the self-doubt and really find that magic in each piece, everything else can me worked through.

And I intend to do so.  I have another group critique this Friday.  I know I am going to take a printed version of Lulu, but I am also planning on taking one other work-in-progress.  I just have to buckle down today and tomorrow and decide which one that is and get it as sparkly as I can.

I wasn't able to attend this years SCBWI conference in New York, it looks like it was a really good one.  I read one of the blogs of a keynote speaker and really want to pass it on to you.  The writer/illustrator Shaun Tan seems to embody magic.  Enjoy.
