It’s true. This can happen. We ran an exhausting Fall Conference and 3 Intensives in October, followed by preparation for our new year’s schedule, training of 2 wonderful new volunteers, looking for a new conference site, preparing for our first ever SCBWI Faire scheduled for Dec. 6th, and preparing for our January and May Intensives. The result, between work and SCBWI, no writing for the past nearly 3 months. It just gets disheartening. But when all seems dark, new inspiration sneaks in. And that new inspiration comes from the wonderful energy of other SCBWI members that offer to happily help. That’s right, happily help. Our new Illustrator Coordinator, Julie Bayless, offered to do an ad for Dec. 6th. Our assistant regional advisor, Keely Parrack, offered to help with even more, and other volunteers came forward to run county programs, welcome new members, and more. The lesson learned. Kindly ask for help. (That’s something that’s a bit hard for me to do.) Graciously accept it. And START WRITING. My sweet Della, in my new chapter book MS, Della Hates Dirt, is nearly done (I hope.)
