Okay, I’ve been very bad, no good, terrible, horrible about posting on my blog during this residency. I’m not sure why I seemed to have more time last summer, although I hear other students commenting that this rez’s schedule seems more packed than last summer’s. Oh well, it is what it is. Needless to say, I’ve been busy.
My Picture Book Semester Panel Presentation: Everything Under the Moon: Shedding Light on Picture Books is this afternoon. I woke up this morning relieved that the migraine that’s been with me since Saturday night has left. Phew! That was the last thing I needed. I’m quite excited that it’s finally our turn to present. More than anything, because I want to be able to stop thinking about my talk. I’m just tired of it hanging in my mind. But I am excited for our audience and hope that some people will walk away feeling a bit more enlightened about picture books. It is such an important and amazing genre to write. And it’s been fun organizing the presentation with the four other writers in my group–Abby Aguirre, Meredith Davis, Barbara Bishop and Mary Cronin (all led by our fearless leader, Kathi Appelt).
And… it’s snowing!!!!!

You're a find photographer. These houses look old. Okay, you can take as many photos as you like, for I won't be tired of looking at Vermont.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh. I love it. But then I'm looking out on rain, rain, rain. Five inches of it in the last 36 hours in the Los Angeles foothills.
