Go to writer’s conferences.
I know. I’m using the Bossy Voice again. But here’s the thing: Writer’s conferences are so good.
So, so good.
And here’s one that I’m speaking at. It’s the LDS Storymakers’ Conference in May, 2011. Here is registration and information. I’m teaching a class on Truth and Fiction on Saturday, and lurking in lots of other classes that day. I’m also heading up a Boot Camp class. Intense. Personal. Helpful. (Do I sound a little like a purveyor of psychiatric services? I’m not, really.) And I noticed that there’s a red-meat salad for lunch on Saturday, which I’m sure the conference planners did just for me. Mmmm. I love red meat.
Shall we clarify LDS Storymakers? LDS is Mormon. Latter-day Saints. You don’t have to write LDS fiction to go to the conference. Some do. Others don’t. You don’t even have to be LDS to go. But most people are, and I can’t guarantee you’ll understand all the lingo, if you head in there unwarned. But I can guarantee there will be excellent classes, top-notch agents and editors, and loads of food. Mormons love food.
And writing books.
So go over to the registration page, and get yourself signed up.
See you in May. I might go hibernate until then…
I registered yesterday!
I won’t be going unless I gather the funds for airfare and hotel and whatnot, but I have until May to make that happen so here’s hoping!
And I’m pitching this year. Ack!

I’m not sure I’ll be able to go on that Saturday. =[ It’s my dudes’ birthday and they’re my only dudes. Haven’t decided but I’m going to do my best.

I was so excited when I saw your name on the list of authors who will be at the conference. I had a great time last year at Storymakers and can’t wait to go again this year. Maybe I’ll see you there 🙂

I’ve already blocked out your class to attend. I’m teaching too and now I’ll have the anxiety of, “What if no one comes to hear me?” to deal with for the next six months.
