Writer's Conference

I am attending a local writer's conference today, which so far has
been excellent, including a morning session on blogging with many
helpful tips.

It is always good to be reminded that there are others who hear a
steady dialogue in their heads between the voice of doubt and the
voice of confidence. The trick is to turn down the volume on both so
the voice with something to say gets a chance to speak.

We writers are, at heart, a fragile bunch even though we may seem
otherwise. It is always good to be surrounded by others who truly do
understand the roller coaster ride we go through on an almost daily
basis.

Afternoon sessions include a panel with agents and editors that should
prove enlightening about the timing question. Maybe I 'll find out how
long, on average, the shopping of a proposal takes...

More later.
