Can't tell you how excited I am for the ANWA conference this next week. I signed up for it almost the very first day possible. And I am rushing to complete all that I needed to to participate in the Boot Camp Thursday night. SQUEEEEEE!
Sorry. I went to my first one just last year, and it was so much fun I could hardly stand it. It was right up my alley, all the writers, all the camaraderie, all the great classes. This year I'm even volunteering to help with the pitch sessions for a while, so I can shmooze. :)
I discovered a lot about myself though, as I've prepared. I do well with a moderate amount of challenge, but too much, and I completely shut down. I got completely stuck for a couple of months because I was so freaked out over not finishing on time to participate in a pitch session, that I became totally depressed. It was UGLY.
But I jumped off the pressure wagon and found my joy in writing again, so it is all good now. :)
If you're interested in attending, even just Saturday, check out this link: ANWA Writer's Conference. I hope you do. And I hope it's something you can attend. It's a fabulous time for all!
Hey Megan :) The conference sounds super fun! I hope you have an excellent time!
ReplyDeletesounds fun. I just attended LTUE so I'm going to have to miss this one. Have a great time and I hope you share some of the things you learn on your blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Erin and Alice. I am very excited. Obviously. I wanted desperately to attend LTUE, but it was too far for how long I would be gone. :( Maybe next year...
ReplyDeleteHave fun!
ReplyDeleteI love conferences, I could go to one every week - I always get so much more writing done after attending one!
