Just hobnobbin with famous people...

I spent the weekend at the NJWP conference and while there I had the privilege of meeting the talented Mr. Walter Dean Myers. He is the author of 30+ young adult novels. In his presentation, he mentioned that he started taking his writing seriously after he had a wife to feed and then followed it up by saying and she eats a lot! The audience of 95% women naturally cracked up. After waiting in a lengthy line for his autograph, I approached him and said that I must be related to his wife. He looked at me for a moment puzzled and then I said, "I eat a lot too"!

Conferences are so motivating! Lookout Room 212 estudiantes, here I come!

My apologies for the poor quality picture.
