Chicago Spring Fling

Whew!

I didn’t realize I’ve been away for so long! Tons has happened, but more recently I attended the Chicago Spring Fling Writer’s Conference. I think I’m finally catching up on my sleep!

More importantly, I met so many new people, connected with those I’d met the last time I went, and learned so much. I know there are debates on whether or not you should attend a writer’s conference. As long as you go to one that’s well run and well-organized, then go for it! You won’t be sorry!

Each Friday I’ll post something about the conference, whether it’s something I learned, someone I met, a writer I got to rub elbows with… This Friday I’ll post about the traditional publishing biz, from query to getting the book on the shelf.

Stay tuned for that post! I guarantee you won’t want to miss it!

Chicago Spring Fling Writer’s Conference

This year I’m attending the writer’s conference in Chicago. In just two more days I’ll be taking off and staying until Sunday. I can’t wait to go and learn all sorts of new things! I have my business cards made up, my book is finished, and I’m ready and raring to go. I’ll take lots of notes and let you know the great ideas I come back with.

Thing 1 and a friend of his are coming as well, only because Thing 1 thinks that if I’m going to Chicago, then he should be able to go too. I told him he had to find a friend to come along because I’m not letting him walk around Chicago by himself. I think I’ll also take his pictures around the city for senior pics.
