I admit these have been quiet days.
But the Andrew Smith How To Be A Writer Conference is far from over. I still have to do those breakout sessions on how easy it is to write a book for children and how to handle critics.
Believe me, they are worth every cent of the cost of admission.
Tonight is the last night my son will be a resident of my home. I am not throwing him out. Tomorrow, he is driving up to Berkeley with his mother and sister to move into the dorms at Cal. Move-in day for freshmen is Sunday. I am flying up there tomorrow to see him off and have dinner with him, and then flying back down because I can't be away for too long right now.
So, the next couple days I'll be checking on the blog with stories from from Berkeley, and I hope to get back to the conference early next week.

What a bittersweet time it must be for a father. I'm sure you're very proud.
I think Matthew picked a good word with "bittersweet."
I am also thinking exhilaration, panic, pride,
and bewilderment are good words. Congratulations to you and your family.
Picking good words is my thing. I hope.
Just took Jake to his first dance last night.
Writing choice:
a) They grow up so fast.
b) Goddamn we're getting old.
Drew, what an awesome experience! Probably somewhat scary, but awesome. Best wishes to your family, especially Trevin. :)
Trevin is going to kick butt and take names and use them in his future novels. Tell him he can come over anytime he needs his (dysfunctional) family time.
