Okay, I know it’s not New Year’s Day but, with the help of a little nudge by Jill Corcoran, I am determined to blog regularly. 

 

My schedule:

 

Monday: What am I reading?

 

Tuesday: Writing Challenges

 

Wednesday: Anything Day

 

Thursday: Industry news

 

Friday: Useful Information 

 

Looks like today is “Useful Information Day”

 

Recently, I attended the NJ SCBWI Conference. We were given a sheet of paper with the names of the agents and editors in attendance and the genres that peek their interests. I’ll share:
