garnigalI just got home from Atlanta (okay, so I've been home for 10 hours watching TV), and I'm updating before I read anyone else's WriterCon recap.
The con was a blast. The panels were good, I learned a lot and came home inspired and ready to write, but the best was meeting so many new people. I started a list of people I need to friend, but I haven't gotten that far yet.
Some of the highlights
- talking to agilebrit the first day. She was practically the first person I didn't know at all that I had a conversation with at the con. And huge thanks to her for my no more hiding pin.
- meeting sunnyd_lite. She was one of the people I really wanted to meet, and she was the nicest, perkiest person ever.
- the emotion workshop. It was just amazing. anaross pointed out things I'd noticed, things that had made me cry and explained why it worked so we can (attempt) to recreate it in our own writing.
- the religion panel. It was the last thing I took in, and it was the perfect topper on a great weekend.
- my roomates! Meeting all of you was definitely the best part of the weekend. Never a dull moment with you folks. I hope you all got back to your families and friends safe and sound. Love y'all! (And I still don't have an accent - my mother said so.)
There were so many other great things that I just can't even think of them all. I'm sorry if I forgot to mention you by name (you were all awesome!), but my brain is still percolating with all the things that happened.
