Labor Day 2010 is history and two writer’s conferences are on the horizon. Three weeks until the Emerald City Writer’s Conference in Bellevue WA, and in the last week of October, the Surrey International Writer’s Conferences.
The anticipation builds as each day draws closer and the lists for preparation are building. The conferences work better for me if I do some preparation beforehand, and one of those preps is to decide what I expect and want to get out of the expense, and the time spent.
I outline a daytimer type of calendar page for each day of the conference, with the workshops I wish to attend marked, 1st & 2nd choice, and a ‘maybe’ marked for taking a needed recovery break if it becomes necessary. I look forward to contacts with writers and other professionals involved in this business.
Have a great week, all.
