WIFYR 2009

I love writing conferences. I get to hang out with my writing friends. I get to learn all kinds of great stuff about writing. I get to network with really cool people. I get to meet new writing friends. And, of course, I get to buy new books. What's not to love about that?

Last week was absolutely fabulous. I spent the entire week at BYU sitting next to Janette Rallison, who I have been stalking for a couple of years now. I'm not sure she appreciated me camping out right next to her. But it certainly worked for me. She is so talented and fun. I learned more than I think my brain can hold and had a couple of moments of epiphany which changed not only me as a person, but changed me as a writer. Best of all, I got to laugh. A lot. I also got to cheer on writing friends as they made incredible strides with their writing careers.

As Mattie would say, it was hdra (hands down rockin' awesome).

Here's some of the pics of my great friends.










I love these people. What can I say more?

  4. The first year I went to LDStorymakers I sat next to Janette and wondered why she would want to sit next to the lowely unpublished idiot. But she is great! She even told me she fired her hubby from the male lead in one of her books because he was too boring. LOL Glad you had fun.
