As an attendee and presenter at CCWA, I've been very impressed with their commitment to writers at every level and genre. I love when our Venn diagrams intersect!Carrie Pearson, children's book authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10603456438982762663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-473128326113032249.post-4696028188984158252016-11-18T10:00:21.642-05:002016-11-18T10:00:21.642-05:00Heck yeah, Melissa.

Earlier this week I was talking with a Michigan author, who shall remain anonymous (but whose initials are Charlie Barshaw) and we had this flash realization of what a wonderful group of people make up SCBWI-MI. It was fun to go on to realize that we'd had the same aha moment many times in the past. (For me, that's good part about getting older--every time I remember something it's all new to me--like summer reruns.) CCWA in Lansing has been a source of joy and increased productivity for me, too. Thanks for spreading the good word, Melissa.

And, I'd add,...I completely agree with Melissa! And, I'd add, attending sessions for illustrators is also enlightening for writers . . . and poetry slams . . . and listening to MOTH stories, or TED talks, etc. The world is full of words and images--keep your heart and head open and you'll be nourished and grow in whatever endeavor you're passionate about.Shuttahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15437339964567291497noreply@blogger.com
