LDStorymakers Conference

This weekend I will be at LDStorymakers Conference in Layton, UT. I'm on a couple of panels (one with  my agent Josh Adams and agency sister Kathryn Purdie), and I'm teaching a class on Teen Heroines! (I'm teaching it twice.) There is also a signing on Saturday afternoon where I *may* be doing a giveaway of some sort...Trust me, you're going to want to find out what it is!! (And anyone who comes to one of my Teen Heroine classes will automatically get an extra entry!)

For more details on the conference, go here:

There are so many awesome authors, agents, and editors coming to this conference! (Including my own amazing agent!!) Will I see you there?

(And remember to come find me at the signing so you can enter my SEKRIT giveaway...!!!)

Recap

Isn't it interesting how you wait for something for so long, and then when it comes, it's over before you know it?

That's how the A.F. Writer's conference was for me. I actually enjoy public speaking (gasp! I know, I'm weird), so the ten minute speech wasn't something I was too worried about. But I was nervous for all the classes I was supposed to teach. Particularly because I was team teaching them with one or two other authors (except for one that I was alone for). I'd never met the other authors before, so I had no idea what to expect. Luckily, they were all lovely, and the classes were really fun to teach. Everyone there was so nice and had some great questions for us to answer. It was fun to meet new people and to get to interact with other authors and aspiring authors.

I guess I learned a good lesson. Most of the time, the things we are nervous about end up being no big deal--and in fact, oftentimes, they end up being a great time. I'm glad I got to participate, and thank everyone who was so kind to me and everyone else involved.

How was your weekend? Can you believe it's May? The weather is forecasted to FINALLY be warmer this week. Hurray!
