I just got home, spent about twelve minutes rinsing off a day’s worth of travel and had to fire up the ole laptop to say:
It was fantastic meeting all of you!
I loved hearing about your manuscripts, your varied approaches to the craft, and most of all, your tremendous enthusiasm for something that is so important. It was great to meet so many like-minded souls.
I used to feel so shy about telling people that I write – that *!%$ fear of being rejected. The more I’ve written, though, the more I’ve improved. Now I just want to tell everyone what I do when I disappear into my sacred writing space for hours upon hours. I hope I’m not the only one who feels that way…
Please keep in touch, and if you’re feeling brave, masochistic, hopeful, or even ecstatic about your work, I’d love to read it. Or, if you are curious about my work, shoot me an email or leave a comment — we could arrange a swap.
Take care, and keep writing!
