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!

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
Wonderfully inspired by #scbwiSummer24 breakout session 1 on Memoir Writing from Andrea Wang. Her words immediately surfaced many ideas I can write about from my own life. I registered for this session because I thought this genre might be important for me but now I truly believe. #scbwibird
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
Lots happening. 😂
+ great panel with Editors and Agents with Laurent Linn (moderator), Josh Adams, Sonali Fry, Tiff Liao, and Saba Sulaiman.
Takeaway: Create in your authentic voice, avoid chasing trends.
+ work on Book 3
+ drop in visit from neighborhood 🐈⬛

Before attending #scbwiSummer24, this #scbwiBIRD ran into a new bird at the park. Not the typical ducks!
The big question for author / illustrators… Pantser, Plotter, Plantser?
But say it in an emoji / gif 😂

These paths have taken these successful SCBWI members 7-10 years for paths in children’s publishing to appear. ✨
