I feel a little guilty celebrating 12x12 in '12 because I only came away with three completed manuscripts - none of which are anywhere near ready to send out! So, instead of focusing on my lack of follow-through, I'll congratulate Julie Hedlund on creating this brilliant event and for bringing together such an amazing group of children's book authors (401 to be exact)!! I've made a ton of friends these past 12 months and have learned so much about writing for children!
I
know I'm a little early but, on 12/12/12 I want to say:
Happy BIRTHDAY
12x12 in '12!!
See you in '13!!
