How is everyone this fine Monday morning? Are you taking good care of yourself? What do you do to instill good self-esteem in yourself, your children, your grandchildren, spouse, etc.? I would love for you to post your ideas! We live in a very difficult world and we need to take care of one another.

I'm really looking forward to attending the SCBWI mini conference. I always learn so much and meet great people.

The wonderful weather is so hard to resist. I just had to take advantage and write outside---- oh the distractions!

A query letter and synopsis are so hard to write. What to include, oh me, oh my. Will I peak the editor or agent's interest? Will they be impressed? It's scary, it's (h)daunting, and it's not even Halloween.

All finished. Now I have to get up the courage to submit, crossing my fingers!

How's everyone doing out there? I just came up for air. Still working on revisions. I have to finish this week.

Almost there!

On the home stretch!!!

Pushing hard to meet my deadline... kind of exciting!
