Get Involved!

I went to a wonderful one day conference this weekend where they had none other than a big time New York editor! And she was terrific! She was approachable and I enjoyed speaking with her. She did some first page critiques and I thought she had some wonderful comments to offer. Her critique on my work was helpful and enlightening.

I was impressed before she got to her presentation. Afterward, I was down right inspired. She was informative, encouraging and a joy to have met and listened to. I learned a lot. It was an honor and a pleasure.

If you want to be a writer, get involved. Go to workshops, conferences, meet other writers, network. Don't just dream the dream. Live it to get it, then you'll be living it for the rest of your life!
