In lieu of writing during my lunch hour yesterday, I made a morning trip down to the school where Austin SCBWI will be having its fall conference. Several of us gathered there to check out the facilities. Besides being an attendee, I’ll be a roadie during the conference — renting the PA system, setting it up, saying “Test one, test two, test, test, test,” etc. (You may insert an editor/groupie joke here.)

There’s been no 6 a.m. run these past couple of days — I’ve dedicated 5 a.m.-7 a.m. to finishing (?) the revisions for The Day-Glo Brothers. Am I done yet? Only my editor knows for sure…
