Thanks SCBWI-IL!

I had a wonderful time! Thank you so much for having me SCBWI-IL!

I taught a workshop called "Ear-Training for the Writer: Adventures in Voice and Tone." (Okay, so I didn't quite call my workshop that, but after seeing the SCBWI-IL writers I think it should have the word 'adventure' in it.) 50 minutes of writing broken up in 5 minute sequences, folks! Yup, everybody worked hard. Cool! Go SCBWI-IL. 

Bag of Tricks to be opened this Saturday

Are you going to SCBWI-IL's Spring Thaw 2017?  I'll be there too. I'm leading a workshop on tone and voice and I'm looking forward to it. It should be fun. 

So if you're going, please don't hesitate to say 'hello.' 

See you in St. Charles on Saturday!

Wisco-pop

Seeing this in a Chicago coffee shop, I smiled. Yup, it is called 'pop' -- and don't you dare call it anything else.
