Thanks, Tara, for enlightening us with details of Kate’s speech. Sounds like the NJ SCBWI is awesome! Kate’s contractions are write-on!

Tara,
I’ve followed this series and enjoyed every last bit of it. Thanks so much for sharing what must have been the highlight of the conference.

Thank you for this series! A lot to mull over and act on (look! more contradiction!).

This four-parter is terrific! Thanks so much for posting.
(But, wow, you are a prolific blogger, aren’t you?)

LOL, thanks. When I go to a conference I take copious notes. Then I go home and type them up. It’s the best way for me to synthesize all that was presented. I learn best that way. If I’m writing the notes up anyway, why not stick them on the blog, right? They benefit all writers.

I thoroughly enjoyed learning more about one of my favorite authors-I cant think of better inspiration than that of learning about, being encouraged by, and realizing the humanness of someone I had heretofore placed on an immovable pedestal. Kate remains on the pedestal, though I realize that just like everyone else, she must step down to use the restroom now and again.

Thank you so much for posting this series; who would have thought that Kate DiCamillo was didn’t like to/was scared to write? I have dreams of writing and illustrating my own picture books, and this is huge encouragement to stop thinking about it and start working on it.
