And it proves that writing isn't just receiving from a muse--it's working, revisions, re-seeing the words you put together, and then reworking again. Your dedication shows in how beautifully crafted your poems are. And I know your novel will show the same talent and effort. I'm eager to read it when it comes out. <br>KirieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375684657483536810.post-64772457784130485842009-01-15T19:11:00.000-06:002009-01-15T19:11:00.000-06:00im sorry about you baby :( glad about your journey...im sorry about you baby :( glad about your journey!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375684657483536810.post-56668396737572690232009-01-15T19:17:00.000-06:002009-01-15T19:17:00.000-06:00My very first SCBWI Conference to attend was the o...My very first SCBWI Conference to attend was the one where Hester Bass and "Ro" led one of the sessions.
