For the children's writers out there, SCBWI has opened registration for the SCBWI 2010 Winter Conference in New York City!

Guess. What. I'M GOING!
[insert one triple Lutz out of pure joy--ice not necessary]
I know we're not all writing kidlit, but here's a question for those of you who are: has anyone been to both the SCBWI Winter Conference in NYC and the SCBWI Summer Conference in LA? This will be my second Winter Conference, but I haven't made it to the one in LA yet. If you've been to both, I'd love to hear how one compares to the other.
And now in honor of Halloween, here is something scary for you to imagine: what if there were no SCBWI? It's an SCBWI tribute that Kimberly Baker created for the 2009 SCBWI Western Washington regional conference. Click here...you'll be glad you did.
