As I write this blog, I have recently attended my first major conference
of the season. I always look forward to all that means for me. I just
figured out that I attended my first conference over 40 years ago—and
I still look forward to them with great anticipation. I love the
excitement that comes when a group of writers get together—many
attending for the first time. For me it includes the joy of seeing
old friends, reliving fun memories from the past, and the
anticipation that comes with not knowing what blessings God has in
store.
I
know that I periodically talk about the importance of attending
writer’s conferences, but taking that giant leap toward such an
event has so much more to offer than just the instruction or
potential contact with editors or agents. As I look back over all
those years and all those conferences, I can’t image having lived
my life without the experiences and friendships those conferences
provided. To me they are a major part of building a writing career
with the strong foundation they provide. I hope you don’t let
another conference season go by without adding to your own
foundation.
