| Sad. |
Today was the last day of my Highlights Fantasy Reunion
workshop. We disappeared in ones and
twos throughout the morning, our numbers dwindling until just a few of us were
left. We drank some coffee, nibbled on
bread with jam, and delayed packing as much as possible. But alas, all good things must come to an
end. Eventually, I was forced to pack my
things, take one last look at my cabin, and hug everyone good bye. (Although I mentally kicked and screamed the
entire time…)
I can’t stress enough how wonderful it is to attend
workshops like this. After just one week
of being immersed in the Highlights atmosphere, I feel rejuvenated, confident,
and optimistic that someday I can
become a published author. If you are an
author or illustrator, you owe it to yourself to try to find the time and funds
for opportunities like this. I think we
all walked away from this reunion with a rekindle love of writing and the
renewed conviction to keep soldiering on.

| Oh, Highlights food. I will miss you. |
Highlights even knows how to end the perfect week with a
send-off feast! (And our brunch buffet
was a doozy!) We enjoyed French toast
bread pudding, cauliflower breakfast bake, crispy bacon, potato casserole, and
fresh fruit with scrumptious left-over cream cheese and chocolate cupcakes.
Let’s just say that after this week, my soul and stomach are
both satisfied.
