Ready to get to work-

It has been many long, long months, My 28,000 word Novel is done, revised so many many times- and forever revising still as grow as an author....

Time to meet with fellow writers and artist and get that jolt of energy that comes from a great conference.I can't wait. Packing for Charlotte, N.C. now-

Revision Revision Revision

I'm so deep into this revision animal. The first draft was finished and in my native mind, I thought maybe that was the tough part. But no, now comes the true craft of writing. And to my surprise, I'm really, really enjoying this. I do need to find some time to sketch... maybe later

Middle Grade Novel Done,

But Now Comes The Revision

Makes me act like a crazed hamster-

FUN INTERVIEW ON JOURNALING WOMAN

Thanks Teresa Coltrin,  I enjoyed the opportunity to interview for your Journaling Woman Blog.

Writing that Middle Grade Novel

Ahh, I'm up to 14,000 words. Such a leap for someone who tried to keep under 800 in my picture books-

ON CHAPTER 10, with 12 to go

 Write, Rewrite, Put it away and start all over again-
In between, I'm revising on my picture book,  finishing the dummy,   

Animal Sound Mix-Up Gets Another Great Review

Wow, Just received another great review by Robyn Campbell for Animal Sound Mix-Up. A delightful story by Connie Arnold, about how each animal sounds they way they do. I enjoyed illustrating the many different animals. Great when something so fun to do works out so well. Way to go Connie!

REVISION CONTINUES

Reworking my story. Took a break to finish an illustration. It helps me connect and really understand my character more. Plus, I just love to draw! So relaxing...

IS REVISION HEAVENLY

I don't feel it yet, but I'm working on it.
