This weekend I went to a wonderful writing conference in Irving, TX and was grateful to spend some quality time with some pretty amazing writers. Some of them I knew, some of them I didn't, but by the time I left it felt like we were old friends. One thing that I can say about the world of writing and the people that inhabit it is that it is absolutely amazing. They are so supportive and understanding. Young, old, pre-published, published - it doesn't matter. They are there for you to share in your success and pick you up when you're down. That's something that's really special. So if you are considering writing, even a bit, come into our world. You're always welcome with open arms.

Exactly. I felt the same way and it was so nice to meet you.
ReplyDeleteIt was so nice to meet you too Clover! :) Hopefully we'll get to see each other again soon.
DeleteWow that is the truth! Being a writer is like belonging to a secret club, and no handshake is required. :-)I'm going to be in TX in a couple of weeks for the Texas Library Association Annual Conference 2012. Are you going?
ReplyDeleteHi Candie! Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately I won't be at the conference, as I have prior obligations. I wish I could be there though.
DeleteIt was so nice meeting you. Have you finished that first chapter yet? :)
ReplyDeleteSo nice to meet you too. I wrote out the first draft and I'm going back to it tonight to revise/revamp. :) Hoping to have it polished before Friday. Thanks for asking!
