Writers' Conference

Last month I attended the SCBWI-NE conference. The first year I went, I came home so revved up with editors' names and I sent out so many manuscripts. This year, there were so few editors/agents who were interested in picture books, I just want to cry.
Actually, I don't. But I either need to seriously do this or move on.
I'm going to start leading a story time at the B&G Club library. Maybe I'll read one of my stories and have the craft be drawing pictures of the story. These are kids who don't know me and they can say whatever they want about the story. Maybe they'll give me some good ideas.
