However, I love your photo! Why is it snuggly dog and cat pics are so cute?<br /><br />On a different note, it's good to hear you got what you wanted out of the conference. I think conferences can be hit or miss depending on what you want to learn or pick up from one. Best of luck in the rewrites! (And yeah, I've always heard that historical in children's fiction is a hard sell.)Mary Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09429769115085903305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8449147139519589668.post-34285748844064001362011-11-15T22:49:34.815-06:002011-11-15T22:49:34.815-06:00I once had a bunny rabbit but I ate it.

Questions we can expand for other genres, too.<br /><br />I'm not doing NaNo because I already had a novella-length ghost-written memoir I was trying to get up on Smashwords and Kindle, which I just did today! Can't believe I figured it out all by my (old) self! I'll announce it on my blog in a few days when it goes live on Kindle.<br /><a href="http://anncarbinebest.com/" rel="nofollow"><i>Ann Best, Author of In the Mirror, A Memoir of Shattered Secrets</i></a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8449147139519589668.post-58922688973847193832011-11-14T15:05:35.973-06:002011-11-14T15:05:35.973-06:00Awwww.

I don't usually go for word counts but it seemed like what I needed to get into gear. I challenged myself to writing 20,000 words, and already I'm over 13,000.

Coming upfront from being behind the scene is a change that requires a lot of change in appearances ie dressing up, jewelry etc versus being in sneekers and glasses and clip boards in hand. Well, I get to see a lot of happy people, so I cannot complain.<br />Reading your blog is a good escape, thanks !MunirGhiasuddinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05232362559666320301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8449147139519589668.post-73970139844042385072011-11-13T16:14:49.889-06:002011-11-13T16:14:49.889-06:00Sounds like you got a great critique!!
