Just a few days away before the next most excellent writer's conference begins. I'm aware of several bloggers attending and I look forward to meet you all. Until then, we have a few days left to warm up (the following can apply to other writer's conferences)!
- If you're pitching to an agent or editor this year, may I suggest reading this post by Peggy Eddleman? She eventually landed an agent because of this conference. Seriously. Her tips are incredibly helpful.
- For those interested in the Italian dinner Thursday night, we have some seats. Details right here!
- Bring cash - you're bound to find a book that catches you're attention. Chances are the author will be there - a great opportunity to meet and speak with them!
- Relax and have fun! This is a learning experience and a time for writers to talk shop and help each other improve their craft. Show us what you're made of!
I'll post recaps of the weekend next week.

It's been an awesome week! Eleven new faces have arrived on the blog. They deserve an epic Shout-Out!

Update: Two chapters into the MG with a pause for research - and baking! I've been in the kitchen making new things, while at the same time looking up locations so I can describe actual places and pass them off as if I actually visited these places. It's coming better than I anticipated. The conference might slow me down this week, but that won't stop me from tackling chapter 3.
Have a good one, guys! New trope post tomorrow.
Are you going to StoryMakers this weekend? How are you warming up for it? We'll take pictures, right?
