So, maybe you’re signed up for the sessions you want, and you’re excited to learn and have fun. But you have one nagging question: who ARE these superwomen (and superman) who are teaching you everything from poetry to platform to plotting?What will I talk about with them? What makes them tick?

And there they are! Hope you take a bit of time to “get to know” these folks before the conference. They’re all wonderful!
QUESTION: Who are you most looking forward to seeing at the conference? If you can’t make it, who would you most like to meet?

Hard to pick just ONE person – but I can probably say my jewely sisters (okay – MAYBE Peej the most), Scott and Deb. EVERYONE is awesome!
The conference is too far away for me to afford to attend. But I am so jealous. So many of these session topics are exactly what I would have chosen. It would be impossible to choose just one! The attendees will be greatly blessed.
I am not able to attend because I have another retreat that weekend with the Christian church. But if I had to choose someone I would most like to meet it would be Deb Porter. She was so encouraging when I first came to Faithwriters and has been one of the guiding forces there. Maybe one of these years I will actually get to meet her in person!
So wish you could come, Debbie – AND Garnet! And Deb is AWESOME. Hope you both CAN make it some year!
Here’s a question… I cannot for the life of me remember WHICH ones I signed up for. Is there a master list somewhere’s or should I just rack my memory?
Di – pretty sure Deb has a list. Or you could just wait until we get there and check the form thing I’m sure you’ll get (they had them last year!). CAN’T wait to see ya!
