And I totally forgot to write yesterday. My bad. I was just going to talk about people being in such a hurry all the time. The other day people were cutting people off, passing dangerously in a no passing area. I even got honked at RIGHT after the light turned green. Pissed me off.
But enough about that. I'm heading to SCBWI's Western Washington Conference today. I'm excited and nervous. This will be my first conference. I know there will be people there I know, but I'm quite shy in real life, I'm going to have to break out of my shell to be sociable.
Here are the classes I will be attending:
Conference orientation for first time Attendees
Marketing Mania
Published Pros
Learning and honing
How far is too far in teen lit
Five ways to make your character sparkle
Writing from anger
Character driven stories
I think I will benefit from all these sessions
Anyone else going?
You know, two more people follow and that 200th person gets a prize. Are you holding out to be the 200th?

Megan, we need to be friends. I'm headed down for the conference tonight. It's my first conference and like you, I'm a bit nervous cause I'm a bit too shy in person... We'll have to keep an eye out for each other!

Sounds good. email me meganbostic at ymail dot com.
ReplyDeleteWe went to our first conference last weekend, but it was a lot smaller than the one you're going to, I'm sure. Plus, we were together, so that probably made it easier.
ReplyDeleteThen again, I'm so not-shy, I talked so much, they asked me to come sit on a panel next year. Talk it up, Megan!!
