How could I have missed a post where there's a picture of me?! It was so lovely to see you all in Winchester and Jion is right to credit you and Clare with that post-Arvon surge in SCBWI memberships! Your enthusiasm for SCBWI was infectious and I will be forever indebted to you both for pointing me in the direction of this brilliant community!<br /><br />Congratulations and lots of luck to Rachel, Jion and Briony. I'm sure we'll be hearing and seeing lots more from them all :)<br />Liz Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01758155038323463036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-701894736280253278.post-3204076357571044202012-12-04T23:04:39.927+00:002012-12-04T23:04:39.927+00:00Maybe one day, Bridget!
