At that time, I thought I already knew what I needed to know to illustrate for kids. Not! Thank you SCBWI for all the learning opportunities and for creating such a fantastic way to gather with my people.A Journey Illustratedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05139181573205807522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-679654279463408644.post-276916449571476162012-03-12T20:24:12.689-07:002012-03-12T20:24:12.689-07:00would you really want to go to all that effort for...would you really want to go to all that effort for something you didn’t love?passion provides the juice and joy for what you do. passion will keep you going and drive you to do what needs to be done to succeed,…Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-679654279463408644.post-70096446688206463012012-03-10T08:31:36.205-08:002012-03-10T08:31:36.205-08:00Thanks for sharing, Martha.
