Just back from a fabulous writer's conference, I'm ready to dive into my manuscript. Thanks to Ann Cannon the prospect of revising my book, once again, is less daunting. A wonderful presenter, she is also a great columnist and an author of children's books.

I definitely have to thank Lael Littke for the amazing suggestions she gave our writing group. She's an inspiration.

Thanks to Alane Ferguson for pumping me up. After your presentation, I am excited to delve into my book. And thank you Dandi Mackall for explaining voice. I think I finally got it! You are a marvel, 460 books. Wow! And Carol Lynch Williams, you are always a crack up--- your advice has helped my writing tremendously.

Well, back to Norphendril. Revisions, revisions, revisions!
