Even harder to blog without a computer...

...and since mine crashed, I haven't been here for a while. Very bad form for a blogger.

I was at a writing conference and used my laptop to attempt to surf the web (I thought I would write a blog about the conference.) Instead, my computer caught something and got very sick. It kept shutting down on me (blue screen) and I was stuck without a working computer.

I am now back up and writing again, and so here I am.

Blogging about being unable to blog for almost a month.

Pitiful, huh?

I guess I will have to learn how to do this from my phone.

So, about the conference. It was the SCBWI Mid-Atlantic Writing Conference in Arlington, Virginia. Lots of great information for children's writers and illustrators. I had an agent reading, and she liked what she read and wants to see more, only... I started writing middle grade for the prologue and switched to young adult for the rest. And I can't do that.

So I am fixing that. Or rather, I have been planning to, and now that my computer is working again, I can get back to it.

So, has anyone else gotten good vibes from an agent, and followed up? What happened? I'd really like to hear some good stories about that.
