Five Things on a Friday
1. I am lousy at keeping up with my blog so I've decided to stop in on Fridays. One post a week seems doable. No pressure!
2. I have a pub date for TUTUS AREN'T MY STYLE -- February 18, 2010! I love the illustrations (thank you Anne Wilsdorf!)and can't wait to hold the "real" book in my hands. I hope a lot of "non-ballarina" girls out there identify with Emma...
3. I completed my Toastmasters manual and I'm now considered to be a "competent communicator." Stop laughing. I mean it. I can still hear you. I will get a certificate to prove it (which I may have to carry with me like a driver's license for proof!) To everyone out there with a fear that's holding you back -- you CAN conquer a fear! Take that first step, then another... I never thought I'd LIKE talking to groups but after 4 years in TM (I know, slow learner) I can honestly say I look FORWARD to speaking!
4. Just finished the YA book SPROUT by Dale Peck. LOVED the voice! Wow.
5. I have 3 manuscripts "out there." I've started working on a mg novel which I'm getting more excited about! I'm also doing a collage for this project -- which I learned from my writing buddy Jill Esbaum. A word of warning: google images is ADDICTING! But so much fun to search for "my" characters.
