Big Week

So much has happened this week. First, I was able to spend two full mornings working on writing. And I do mean working on writing . . . not actually writing. There is so much to be done in the way of researching publishers, researching topics (what topics are already done to death by which publishers and who has what holes), charting a plan, resubmitting, etc. I didn't hear anything from the October Bell people, so I'm planning to resubmit that next week someplace else.

Here's a peek at my to-do list for the next week/weeks:
1) Join SCBWI.
2) Check out writing conferences to attend. (NYC in January?)
3) Think seriously about putting together a website.
4) Re-submit October Bell and Which End Up? (8/20).
5) Study publishers who have/don't have books about adoption.
6) Look for publishers who welcome/encourage manuscripts about disabled children.
7) Write another poem for the "series."

Lots to do. And I start back to my "real" job on Monday!
