I Love New York

Here in New York City on this full moon night, although I can't see the moon, or the sky that is, because the buildings outside my hotel room window are so tall. 

But I am enjoying the weekend here with SCBWI (the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators) at the Winter Conference.  I was fortunate to have the opportunity yesterday to read a small section of my young adult fantasy novel to a couple of editors and got good feedback.  Now I'm ready to submit queries to literary agents and make this dream into a reality. 

I have some fill in work to do on the manuscript, but I'm about ready to let some friends and family read it.  Not sure if I'm ready for the critiques though!  Oh well, I'll have to face up to it sooner or later.

Off to do some networking now and meet other writers.  Back home tomorrow night, but so far I'm loving New York!
