I went to the Eastern PA SCBWI Poconos conference at the Highlights Foundation in Boyd's Mills, PA from May 2nd-4th. While I can babble on forever about friends and workshops, inspiration and so,so much kidlit love, let's start with pictures (and captions!) Warning, this post is insanely image-heavy!

The Barn. Gourmet food, 24-hr ice cream and coffee and snacks, workshops, and chatting 'til late! |
|
The farmhouse (I stayed there this year) |
|
Pre-yoga 6am view from the farmhouse kitchen. |
|
Playing in the poetry garden! (Don'tcha love my camperific clothes?) |
|
A little inspiration |
|
The cabins (I WANT ONE!!!) |
|
S'mores at night. Burnt marshmallows are the best marshmallows! |
|
Our writing prompt table--pick an item and write a paragraph about it, then hang it up on the wall. |
|
I wrote a *little* more than a paragraph. Oops. |
|
Even though winter stretched into spring this year, April showers apparently did bring May flowers! |
This is my favorite conference, surrounded by nature and everything writing. I could
live in those cabins and eat that amazing food with no chance of ever getting bored.
What is your favorite conference?
