The Fateful Day Has Arrived…Almost: Crested Butte Writers Conference

UncategorizedOkay, the truth is, I wrote this several days in advance of our departure and the “fateful day” will still be twenty four hours from when we leave. That said, it’s the week of and I’m more nervous than the last turkey in the pen on Thanksgiving morning.
My “To Do” list keeps growing, and I refuse to guess at how I’ve overshot my grocery allowance for the month. Snack foods are expensive. I need to pack most of my daughter’s wardrobe to insure against nudity. Sigh. I’m sure to forget SOMETHING, which is why I intend to take notes.
Huh?
Yes. My list keeps growing because of my notes and that won’t change at the conference. Most folks take notes at conferences and I’m sure they share much of what they learn. I am an avid scrapbooker among other things and know from experience, I’ll forget much of what happens and/or is said unless I write it down. That’s why I wanted to let you all know there will be a blog fest upon my return from Crested Butte. In fact, I’ll probably write a daily journal there and post those comments if I can find an available computer. I don’t know if I’ll see any of you, but if you are coming, I hope we meet!
Addendum: Much to my shock and delight, I discovered that I DID get a pitch request from one of the attending professionals. My relief and stress levels have skyrocketed. How on earth did God make it possible for humans to experience both sensations at the same time? Well, however He did it, I want to thank Him for the opportunity. I could never have come this far without Him.
Hi Victoria.. All the best with the pitch request. Enjoy the Writer's Conference!
I'm so excited for you. Good luck!
I'm sure everything will be good.
Congrats, Victoria. You will do just fine with your pitch. Enjoy yourself, take lots of notes and learn many new things to teach us upon your return.

Thanks, guys! I appreciate all the confidence. ;D
Crested Butte is so gorgeous this time of year! Enjoy the conference. I'll be the other side of the hills in Littleton. 🙂
Thanks, Lisa! I'm waving. ;D It is STUNNING here. The weather couldn't be more generous.
I'm going to tease you all a bit more, alas. I was so tired last night, I left my briefcase with all my notes in another attendees' car! ARGH!
Good luck with the pitch and enjoy the conference!
