I’m going to a writing conference in October and I am feeling very overwhelmed by how much of a rookie I still am. I’ve had articles and short stories published, but I would at least like to have finished a book before I go so I don’t feel totally out of my league. ;-) (and that way I can take advantage of meeting potential agents!)KaseyQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18394640941485859111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421706587311875668.post-14953439982502042032013-08-28T21:12:15.711-06:002013-08-28T21:12:15.711-06:00Jordan, I'm just going to focus on all the pro...Jordan, I'm just going to focus on all the progress.

Someone once said that a writer puts his life into his writing. That person was a true writer, but I'm sure the readers only thought he was waxing philosophical and not stating a fact. lol.
