Kicking off February 2020 my journey continues in remaining focused and slaying my inner naysayer...
I've been planning out and writing my blog posts ahead of time, thanks to Sandra Beckwith of BuildBookBuzz in offering her 2020 Literary Calendar with 122 Occasions for Book Fans. A wonderful resource!
I've also submitted two manuscripts to publishers for consideration.
Attending Society of Children's Book Writer's and Illustrators (SCBWI) area event...
- SCBWI Shoptalk session - hosted by the Eastern Upstate SCBWI Chapter on Thursday, February 13, 2020 at 6:30-89:30 pm at the New City Library, New City, NY. I am over the moon that there is enough interest in continuing monthly SCBWI right here in Rockland County. Thank you to Kerry for coordinating!
I'd enjoyed hearing about how you are keeping your focus for 2020!
Looking forward to a year of manifestations through healthy living and positive efforts filled with gratitude!
