I'm in Colorado as faculty at an #scbwi children's book writing conference! I led an intensive workshop on What I Learned from Nancy Drew: Tools for Fast-paced Plotting, and did a fast-paced pitch review session. I got a lot of compliments on both. It's a really well-run conference with super nice people.

If anyone from the #SCBWI Central California conference sees this and knows which lady handed me a blue bag during the conference, I would love to chat with her! I totally missed her name and it wasn't in the bag.
Happy New Year! Excited to see what kind of stories for kids we can write. Great #SCBWI meetup!
Also, any of my artist friends who are interested in the SCBWI Narrative Art Award, you can read more about it here:

Submissions for 2024 will open next fall.

Pitaya (Dragon Fruit)
Thank you @danielsmithartistsmaterials and @avelino_art for wonderful demo today.
Avelino's gorgeous work inspired me to use gouache.
It is very difficult material for me to handle, but I tried!

It was such a beautiful day here in Ajijic.
Sitting in the shade with cool nice breeze, a perfect day for outdoor sketching.
