Today's word of the day is: Workshop
I'm back from Nashua, where the New England SCBWI conference was a huge success and my four-hour workshop on web design and blogging was well-attended and well-received. The grand finale was a live update of my website to include news about the presentation itself, thanks to a kind volunteer photographer in the audience.

That's my
new website design in the background, and see how exhausted I looked by that point? Since I was presenting for both sessions on Sunday, I didn't get to attend the equally well-received workshops going on at the same time:
- Toni Buzzeo on self-promotion;
- Brian Lies and Lita Judge on illustration;
- Sarah Aronson on point of view;
- Harold Underdown on an overview of the basics;
- Debra Garfinkle on humor writing;
- Emily Herman and Anne Sibley O'Brien on writing tools;
- Sarah Shumway on pitches; or
- The Write Sisters (Janet Buell, Kathy Deady, Muriel Dubois, Diane Mayr, Andrea Murphy, Barbara Turner, and Sally Wilkins) on critique groups and collaboration
In fact, with all of those other workshops going on, I was amazed that anyone wanted to come to mine at all. We really did have a great group of authors and illustrators who peppered me with enough questions to last the entire time--and we probably could have gone for another four hours if I hadn't lost my voice by then. Thanks, everybody!
I like Chicos clothes. And I'm told I'll be on TV when I’m in Texas.
So then I read that the Oral Roberts University is in the midst of a scandal involving Oral Roberts' daughter-in-law, some underage males, and spending sprees. But this item really caught my attention: “Mrs. Roberts spent more than $39,000 at one Chico's clothing store alone in less than a year, and had other accounts in Texas and California. She also repeatedly said, ‘As long as I wear it once on TV, we can charge it off.’ The document cites inconsistencies in clothing purchases and actual usage on TV.”
I’m told I'm going to be on TV twice. Do you think they will allow me to change outfits three or four times for each appearance? Think of the write-offs!
