I attended the 2015 Texas Library Association (TLA) conference in Austin, Texas, two days ago. There were authors, editors, publishers, and illustrators from all over the nation. Hundreds of librarians attended the sessions and met authors, bought books, took pictures, and just had a good time. The energy in the place was awesome with so many book lovers present.

Don’t out-talk your ideas. Routine-less writers are prone to share their Great Ideas with anyone who will listen …  it’s better to share less and plan more.”
