Monday Mishmash 4/4

Mishmash time! Happy Monday, everyone. Here's what's on my mind:

 

Pocono Retreat My regional SCBWI conference is this Friday through Sunday. I'm very excited. I had a blast last year and met some great writers, editors, and agents.Pulled tendon? I have a tendon in my right hand that is sticking out and really itchy. Yes, itchy. I think it may be a typing hazard. Guess I have to deal with it because I'm not about to stop typing.Piles of books Um, I may have bought a lot of books at Borders last week, and now this pile is staring at me. Next to it is the pile of books I took out from the library. Where to begin?Patience The publishing industry has taught me a lot about having patience. I'm waiting on several things right now, and I'm trying to remind myself that patience is a virtue.Mice We have at least one mouse in our garage. My husband met him last night in a stare down. The mouse apparently won on account of being adorable.

 

That's it for me. What's on your mind today?
