Tonight, I did a scary-to-me thing and survived!

I read four minutes (one chapter) of my YA novel in front of authors, agents, and an editor.

I'm proud of myself for conquering my fears! #theverge #ctcwriters #kidlit @thewritingbarn

Had an amazing weekend at the #SCBWI Marvelous Midwest Conference! Met up with long-time writing friends, fellow #12x12challenge and #ctcwriters, attended inspiring presentations, and left with profound gratitude for this wonderful community. ❤️ #MMW2024
