My First Conference

Let me encourage anyone who has never been to a writing conference to find one and attend.  It was an awesome experience and I am so glad I went.  From meeting different people, to listening to the guests' presentations, to buying books and getting them signed, to reading all the wonderful "On the Wall" submissions, and even watching others win door prizes, my spirit was uplifted and my eyes became more opened to the business in general.  There was even a young student from Sulphur High School who attended. That must've been a big step for her.  She was delightful and asked questions.  I'm sure her writing career will go far.  I can't wait to go next year.

  2. Actually, I DON'T use a screenwriting program. It's all MS Word, believe it or not.

  3. Thirty published pieces? Awesome & wonderful. It was a lot of fun at the conference, wasn't it. Last year was the first conference I'd ever attended and I learned so much. I thought the speakers were very good this year.
