I went to my first writers conference two weeks ago.  It was a small conference of only 100 people.  Despite its small size, it packed a whollop.  I learned a lot.  I also found out that I have learned a lot myself from reading books/magazines on the craft of writing. Like all of us, I still have a long way to go.

What was really amazing was to find so many professional writers who write fulltime for their careers.  They weren't just a few minutes here, a few minutes there writers, but one of sit down at the computer and type all day type of writer.  It was very encouraging, to say the least.

Since the conference I have been writing every day on some type of story or another.  I haven't written yet today.  I fell last night playing a game at Family Night at church.  I hurt my wrist.  It is hard to type.  I will be writing after I finish this blog, though.  I want to get more into my writing.  Can't reach my goal of supporting myself and my son with my writing if I don't write.

I will talk more about what I learned at the conference once my splint is off my wrist.  Right now, it is a little hard and painful.

take care,
