So we're back from the LDS Storymakers conference! It was an awesome experience. We got to meet a lot of people (including Ailsa from our writing group! and Aneeka, also occasionally from our writing group!) and listen to a lot of incredibly interesting lectures on writing. The entire thing took pretty much two whole days, so I will try to distill some of the best parts into a five highlight list.
1. Yes, Howard Tayler, I will work very, very hard. Enough said.
2. Sandra Tayler managed to make finances both scary enough to pay attention to and managable enough that I am not totally panicking. Not bad for someone with a Humanities major.
3. Per David Wolverton, sci fi is about a sense of wonder. I should make an extra effort at including that. Heh heh heh...
4. No matter how well your day went at a writing conference, it will always still suck to come home to water leakage and fans trying to dry out your carpet.
5. I won a door prize! It included a discount for a content edit through Eschler Editing. Now what would I use that for... :) Mwahahahaha!
So those are some of the highlights. It was a lot of fun! I will probably write more about the whole thing later. Just giving a quick update.
Speaking of quick updates, I am now on Twitter. Not sure how I like it yet, but we will see what pithy remarks I can make to win the respect and admiration of the entire world, 140 characters at a time. Shouldn't be hard, right? Muttter, mutter, mutter...
Wait? All my praise of Twitter, and you listen to a conference?
ReplyDeleteOn a more serious note, you didn't post your Twitter handle. How am I supposed to follow you?
I still haven't done anything with it yet. Twitter still scares me; I'll probably gripe about it later.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I am @KindalCDebenham. Kinda straightforward, right?
I searched for it and, y'know, failed. I think I glossed over the egg-shaped pic.
