Rivendell Writer's Colony : Fellowship
What a gift to spend two weeks, in the Tenneesee woods, writing new words to a new novel. 2018 is already looking beautiful.

Researching Sneak-Peak: From the NYT Archives
Caught up in the research for my next manuscript. Getting to know the character that will walk around in my mind, come alive on paper, and occupy so much of me forever, is proving just as thrilling as the last time I did this! #onward #cantstop #mustwrite #mustresearch #writing
More Inspiration. This book is also on its way to Chicago. Can’t wait to “study it”. This promises to be a great learning resource. :)
Book Shopping
My natural place to start in this entire project was to begin researching classes I could take online. However, I was struck by the shocking price tag that went along with it. I am really interested in the UCLA Writer’s Program Extension and the London School of Journalism course. Any recommendations? I’m going to start with a couple of the books off the syllabus and go from there.
One of the three I’ve already mentioned. The other two are on their way to the hotel in Chicago where we travel to on Friday. The most recommended one was “Writing Picture Books: A Hands-On Guide from Story Creation to Publication” By Ann Whitford Paul. I can’t wait to get my hands on it!
Did I mention the theme of the book will be a travel picture book for children? PUMPED!
