Schmooze 2009 Rehash

24Aug2009 Filed under: News, Other Good Stuff!, The Writing Life Author: shutta

The schmooze this year was a lot of fun with some old familiar faces showing up as well as a lot of new ones. We had every chair filled in a circle—28 of us! There was lots of good food as well as good conversation. I saw groups standing in the shade by the food tables chatting away, as well as in little huddles in the playhouse.

We did a round robin intro and later spent a little time writing. See below!

All in all, it was a wonderful day spent with people excited about writing for children! Can’t ask for better than that.

Keep writing!
