Wordstock - Part 1

Wordstock was pretty awesome. Mostly because I got to hang out with Lindsey Leavitt a little bit AND  share the stage with her, which was great fun. She is funny, smart, and when I say, I think it's time to break out in song, she goes with it.

The iconic Wordstock red chair, which cannot be passed by w/out taking a picture. Or ten.

I want to tell you about fun adventures, new friends, and awesome panels, but I need to collect some pictures first. And catch up on sleep. Lots and lots of sleep.

The best photo I took was this one. I moderated a panel with three middle grade authors on Saturday, and at one point, I looked out into the audience, and this is what I saw. Talk about making an author's day. And yes, because I was the moderator, I had to give them a shout-out.

"The two girls in the back who I see reading my book? I just want you to know I like you very, very much."
