Not really "off to" in a physical sense since it's here in NYC this year, but going to Nationals definitely requires an "off to" mindset. It's always a little overwhelming - okay sometimes a lot overwhelming - sharing a conference experience with 2000 other writers, but the energy is amazing and it's so worth it if you can make it.
If there's anyone around out there, what are your conference experiences. What conferences are "Don't Miss" status for you?
As much as I enjoyed RWA11, I realized for where I am in my writing career, I need to focus on faith-based conferences for the next few years. More bang for the buck! Too bad ACFW's conference will never be possible (unless I leave my job) as it always falls during a critical "no vacation" timeline in company's fiscal year.
ReplyDeleteI always come away from conferences with new friends and new knowledge.

Hi Jenna and Ann. Sorry not to respond earlier. I came away from this conference with bronchitis. :(
ReplyDeleteBut it was a wonderful time and I'm so glad to have met so many wonderful people and learned so much.
