Final Proofs

I'm checking final proofs for Rodney these days. One thing I learned from my Mumsi experience is that I need to read the story aloud and watch the page turns. That is where one may notice a number of problems that would not otherwise be evident.

Here's what else is going on--just for the record:
--I entered the SCBWI-C contest with Daniel's Day.
--I was invited to read at Read 2 Me Day and at Read Across America at a school in Dacusville.
--I continue to write for GWN--8 articles and counting for the April issue.
--I've begun a new story that may become a early chapter book. I'm only about one page in, so I shouldn't even put this in writing yet, but I need some accountability. . . .
--I find that I'm out of steam on resubmissions but will attempt to get back on that soon. (How's that for no accountability?)
--no further work on the novel . . . yikes!
