This
past weekend, I had the pleasure of being in Nashville , Tennessee
It was my first time (that I remember….I’m told I was there when I was two but
aside from some home movies, the memory has been lost). This time around, I’ll
remember. So much warmth and hospitality from everyone I met, how could I
forget?
My weekend started when my husband’s
brother and his beautiful wife picked me up at the airport and whisked me away
for lunch, which was lovely and gave us a chance to catch up. It was funny…I’d
gotten off the plane in Nashville
And then….it was on to A Weekend With The Authors.
I’ve never been to a Reader’s Conference before. Mostly, I’ve attended
conferences for writers, from newbies who are just getting their feet wet to
multi-published authors with many, many books beneath their belts, but this was
different. We authors were able to connect (and party!) with people who love to
read. And it was fantastic! I met so many lovely people. They were warm and
vital and filled with curiosity. As writers, so much of what we do is solitary,
so I can’t tell you how wonderful it was being with a group of people who “get”
it, who know why we write and can’t wait for us to write more.
I am home now (still exhausted) and heading back to
the day job, but this experience will live with me for a lifetime. I will
definitely do it again. And again. And again.
Until next time….
Happy
