Happy New Year!

Has any comic captured the excitement and potential that each new year brings better than Bill Watterson's final Calvin and Hobbes strip from December 31, 1995?

Looking forward to a big and busy 2012. Here's my Kiddo Lit to-do list for the year:

• Finish revisions on "Pirates Go Shopping" and start submitting.
• Work on PBDummy submissions for "I Can Read" series.
• Attend the NESCBWI  Conference (woo-hoo!)
• Attend the EasternNYSCBWI Mid-Hudson Valley Conference (TBA).
• Participate in the #KidLitArt Picture Book Dummy Challenge.
• Participate in Julie Hedlund's 12x12 Picture Book Writing Challenge.
• Participate in Tara Lazar's PiBoIdMo Challenge.
• Attend monthly EasternNYSCWBI ShopTalk meetings.
• Blog more often. :)

I'll keep you all posted on my progress and recap all of the events.

Hope everyone has a fun and productive 2012.
