I just got back my SCBWI critiques from Cynthia Liu and while she loves the characters and dialogue, it's still not there. I tool Julie Strauss Gabel's intensive. She handed 30 first pages. I wouldn't have picked mine.<br />In the meantime I have a contract for my great American novel from Allyn Johnston and I have two more picture books to send her, which I am terrified she will hate. I'm also querying my adult novel, Second Chances. With this one I waver between "It's awful Waht am I thinking?" and It's good. Readers will like it."<br /><br />I think, for today, I'll just enjoy the contract moment.The Pen and Ink Blogspothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01709195512534318571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934041490878801751.post-9161613249496376882011-08-22T14:20:31.489-05:002011-08-22T14:20:31.489-05:00Hurrah for Eric Kimmel for encouraging you, MA!
