Ha, I was just wondering about this...kismet!

Now I know.

Thx for posting. Sounds like a great lineup.

[Larissa]

Yay!  Don't forget to let me know if you need anything, Linda!

[tammi]

Oh, Linda, I can't wait!     

Side note to those thinking about attending:  I met my S&S editor at a manuscript consultation at the SCBWI Florida Mid-Year Workshop in 2006. I just sold my 3rd pb to her. It can happen.

I hope to see many of you in June.

Rats! My son graduates on the 6th so we won't be down in Florida till the next week. Argh. I was going to try to make this one!

One of these days, Linda ... In the words of Arnold, "I'll be back!"

I just don't know when.

[Mindy Alyse]

Rats! My son graduates on the 6th so we won't be down in Florida till the next week. Argh. I was going to try to make this one!

It would have been great to see you again!  We miss you in FL.

[Mrs. Jones]

Thanks, Mindy!

I miss you guys, too. Bigtime!!!!

Hi LindaB,
I looked on your web site and couldn't find the registration. Am I missing it or too early? Thanks!
Karen

[LindaB]

Thanks for posting the link Mindy!

I haven't been to a FL SCBWI conference since 2005 (and that one was FABULOUS), so I'm really looking forward to this one.

Can't wait to meet everyone!

[Mindy Alyse]

You're welcome for the link.  I'm glad you're able to attend this summer!  You'll recognize many Blueboarders. 

Which track are you taking?  They all look so amazing, it's hard to choose.

I signed up for the Novel Intensive and the YA track. I'm really excited.

Can't wait until June!

[Larissa]

Ooh!  Let's all post what we're doing!  I signed up for the Novel Intensive (KATHLEEN DUEY IS AMAZING) and the picture book track (YAY TAMMI SAUER).  Oops, sorry.  I got a little fan-girly for a minute there.  I'm okay now.

[TrueImage]

Larissa, I'm really excited about the Novel Intensive. Kathleen Duey spoke last February at SCBWI Springmingle (Atlanta) and she was awesome. So I think I had a fan-geek moment myself.

It will be great to meet you in person!

[Larissa]

I look forward to meeting you, too!

Kathleen Duey is the single most inspiring person I have ever met.  I heart her. 

[tammi]

Can't wait to see you there, Larissa!

[Larissa]

Thanks, Tammi!  I can't wait!

There were still several spaces in the intensives this morning.

I'm signed up for the Novel Intensive (Kathleen did such an amazing job in Miami, I can't wait to take another intensive with her), and I haven't taken the PB track in years and can't turn down the chance to work with Tammi Sauer and Dan Santat.  The marketing track with Cynthia Leitich Smith looks fantastic, too.  I wish I could take them all!

Looks like we'll be spending the entire weekend together, Larissa!

[Medeia Sharif]

I signed up for the YA track.

My editor is one of the presenters, so I'll be meeting him.       Danielle Joseph is also presenting, and I enjoyed her book Shrinking Violet.

[triaandstar]

I'm in!  Novel Intensive and Picture Book Track.

It will be so great to meet you in person! I feel like I already "cyber-know" you. LOL. And how cool that you'll get to meet your editor too!
