That part was frenzied writing of everything that happened until now (in my life) and it's the now part that's going to be hard, where I tell the internal editor to take a hike. Then I have to learn the hard way how to pitch because I'm not going to be able to go to a writer's conference any time soon.<br /><br />I am, however, going to BlogHer - are you?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12586581766383380976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323746891853175496.post-52318358903299345452012-06-08T15:58:55.658-04:002012-06-08T15:58:55.658-04:00That is SO amazing - both how the conference sound...That is SO amazing - both how the conference sounds and how brave you were to fight past all your fears and go!
