Last Saturday, I presented at @teenauthorbootcamp, and that writing conference was fantastic as always! I taught about maximizing character agency, met tons of teen aspiring authors, and got to catch up with many writing friends. A fun bonus was getting placed in my own book cover via a green screen and some cool tech. I tried and failed to give both Bastien and Ailesse bunny ears, but the attempt was still worth the result of this picture. 😆 Now I’m back home and writing, writing, writing. Can’t stop, won’t stop. There’s always a deadline, and I’ll always be grateful for this rollercoaster of a job. 📚✍🏻 . . . #tabc2033 #teenauthorbootcamp #writingconference #authorlife #authorsofinstagram #authorsofig #authorevents #writingcommunity #writingevents https://www.instagram.com/p/CqUC5oJLC9X/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
