ACFW Conference


I'm so excited that this fall I will be attending my first really BIG Writer's Conference. The American Christian Fiction Writers are holding their annual conference in St. Louis, Missouri this year, and I have made the bold step of registering for it!

It's amazing how the universe works to make things happen sometimes. At first I thought I'd be going alone - a newbie out in a sea of pros. But as luck would have it, a former critique partner is going also and asked me to be her roommate! Though we'll probably attend different lectures and workshops, it will be nice to know there's a friendly face in the crowd!

And I get to meet some special authors that I've been reading, as well as many on-line friends I've talked to in cyber-land.

Super exciting! Now to save my pennies...

Sue, I'm so glad you'll be attending the ACFW conference. At long last I'll get to meet you in person, and I'm looking forward to that. =)

Exciting news indeed...even if I'm late reading it. Hope you'll do a lot of newbie reports on your preparation and attendance!!!! So those of us we haven't gone yet can live the experience vicariously through you. It would be a great thing to blog about...hint, hint.

Wow, Sue! I hope you enjoy your conference! I've been several times and I've always had a great time! Unfortunately, I won't be attending this year, but I do plan on attending in 2012.

Sue, Thanks so much for your kind comments about my work that I'm bumping into on other blogs. You have a precious, giving spirit! And I'm so thrilled you're going to be in St. Lou - and rooming with Eileen, another sweetheart!! Like dear Keli says, at long last I'll get to meet you in person. I hope I can find you!! Bless you for everything.
