Moonlight and Magnolias
Oct 1st, 2007 by Sandra
I suppose that if I had more energy, I’d have blogged during the Moonlight and Magnolias Conference put on by the Georgia Romance Writers. There was certainly a lot to talk about, not least of which was my good friend Jo Anne Banker’s First Place Win of the Maggie Award of Excellence for Long Contemporary!
Everyone I met was a real treat and I loved chatting with them. My Building Emotional Resonance workshop went well, and I learned a lot listening to Linda Howard talk about her publishing experiences.
Overall, it was a great conference. My good friend and critique partner, Dawn Temple, signed all copies of her wonderful TO HAVE AND TO HOLD, Silhouette Special Edition, and I suspect she had just as much fun as I had.
One request: Would the lovely person who gave me your business card after the workshop please please please email me? I lost your card and I’d love to send you the extended handout you requested!
Will you be posting any of your workshop materials here?
Hi Mariann, thanks for hanging in there and dropping by!
I’m not sure how useful the handouts would be because, in this case, they don’t do justice to the overall concept. It’s kind of a “you had to be there” hands-on experience, with exercises and people sharing their stories and me giving feedback and stuff like that. I’m frankly not so sure the handouts would be of any use to someone who wasn’t participating live.
On the other hand, I might be able to work the material into a more comprehensive article, which would have value on its own.
Let me ponder this for a bit….
