#SCBWISummer2024
Kate DiCamillo's keynote was inspiring. I'm going to put this quote from her talk into the front cover of my writing journal: "What makes writing truly matter is the truth, no matter how hard that might be."

#SCBWISummer2024 has ended, and I am again so grateful to have these virtual conferences! There's no way I could have flown in for a live conference this year.

The accessibility that virtual conferences bring should not be underestimated! 😍

Notes for SCBWI Day 2 featuring Frida Fuego running amok on the page.

Here's some notes from Day 2 of SCBWI Summer Conference 2024. You'll notice Frida has returned to run amok all over the notes. Extremely informative day. Can't wait for the illustrators intensive tomorrow!

Hey, #SCBWISummer2024 peeps, if you didn't get to watch @alioop7.bsky.social (Editor Alison Weiss)'s presentation live, def watch it later. So helpful! Weiss gives suggestions on how to recover from common #kidlit creator career probs.

Notes for the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators Summer Conference Day 1, featuring a pesky Frida Fuego.

First time attending SCBWI. Here's a half day's worth of notes, featuring my character Frida Fuego. #scbwi #scbwibird #scbwiSummer2024 #scbwiNotes #kidlit

A small bird takes shelter under a leaf. Rain pelts the top of the leaf and water droplets drip down the sides and off of the leaf

A black and white drawing in ink. A small chunky rat in a shirt and slippers is laying on his stomach with a comically large sized pencil. He is writing SCBWI on a stick note. On the ground next to him is a pencil sharpener. Behind him is a stack of stickynotes and a pillbug climbing over them. A thought bubble is over his head, reading: write what feels right. Agen = Ride or die. Trends < Talent. Don't give up! Pre-Published. Timeless/Timely. Messiness of being human!

I'm Dillian, this is my first conference!! You can find more of my work on my portfolio, here! www.sea-peony.com
