Important Announcement!
Line up, my minions! Single file, come on...Christopher, stop tugging Jackie's braids. Dawn, leave Brian alone. Okay, are we all here? Good! It's time for a hyper-critical announcement.
You're about to miss out on a fantastic opportunity.
I bet you had no idea, did you? Here it is, mega-crucial appointment time and you almost missed it. Well, lucky for you, Auntie Heather is here to remind you.
The 2006 Backspace Writers Conference is coming up...and it's filling at a ridiculously fast rate. You need to register, my minions, or else you'll miss out on the grand opportunity of meeting me. Oh...and all that other cool writing and publishing-related stuff like tons of agents, editors, panels and hob-knobbing galore.
It's going to be amazing, I assure you. And you will walk away smarter, better prepared, and several other positive adjectives just for having attended. You don't have to be a member of Backspace to attend (though you'll want to be after you do), but for any writer who has dreams of publication, this is the conference for you.
The Skip the Pitch sessions have filled and the awards banquet is stuffed, but there's still room at the conference, so get those registrations in now!
You wouldn't want to miss out on an opportunity to meet me, would you?

Leave me alone Dawn.
Auntie Heather, she's breathing on me. Stop it!
ROFL
Yes, the Backspace Conference is going to be awesome. I'm already signed up for the conference, the banquet and the skip-the-pitch session. I might even get to meet with Kristin Nelson.
The list of people to meet keeps growing. So far my top picks are:
Heather Brewer (of course)
Kristin Nelson
Laura Rennert
Miriam Goderich
Karen Dionne
Joe Konrath
I really want to meet everyone, but those are my top picks so far...
If I can just get my book(s) written and edited before the conference I'll be much less of a spaz... and my anxiety levels will really drop off.
Now, now, Dawn, behave yourself. ;)
I'm truly honored to be on that list, Ewoh. You're going to have an incredible time. I just know it. :)
Your loyal minion is humbled by your kindness.
I am still among the unwashed masses of the unpublished (well, at least as far as novels are concerned). You have reached a state of glorification by having your novel bought and being published.
I bow to the O' Great One :)
As much as I wish I deserved that throne...I really don't. I got here as many do--through a medley of perseverance, timing, a smidge of talent, and a whole lot of luck. :)
from reading the blogs and web pages of a load of agents, editors and publishers I have come to the conclusion that it is a lot about talent and following the guidelines they prefer, and about persistence. The timing thing is luck and the rest is just waiting... :)
However, since I have yet to be blessed... this is all still conjecture.
Persistence is crucial. Guidelines are to be followed. And waiting? It's to be expected.
and lest anyone get the wrong message:
persistence != stalking
where "!=" means is not the same as or equal to.
LOL! Yes, stalking=bad. Never giving up=good. :)
You know I never could leave a cute boy alone! If you weren't in charge of us, you'd be right next to me!
That's beside the point!
At least, it is now...because I said so. And I'm in charge.
Neener neener. :P
Ow!!! MOM! Make Christopher leave my hair ALONE!!!!!!!!
Jackie, sniffling over Ewoh not wanting to meet her at the conference...
Ewoh wants to meet you, Jax. He just doesn't know it yet. ;)
