An Honest Day's Work

I'm going to be speaking in March at the New England Roundtable of Children's and Teen Librarians conference. The program's theme is "Leave 'em Laughin' – Humor in Children's and Teen Literature."

Conferences almost always have themes. On a couple of occasions other writers have suggested that I submit a proposal to some conference in order to appear as a speaker. As a general rule, though, I don't get the themes. I can't figure out what they mean and can't imagine what I would say about them.

I can come up with a little something to say about humor, though. I might use slides. That remains to be seen.
