ReplyDeleteYou girls & fellows are really going to have a marvellous time! Looking at the different topics you can see they have covered everything you'd ever want to know. Plus the great fellowship of like-minded souls. (Even if non-writers think we are a weird lot!!!!)
ReplyDeleteI had planned to be there but circumstances set me back, so next year...here I come.
Looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Iola for the opportunity to share. Looking forward to a great time at conference and meeting up with new and 'old' friends.
ReplyDeleteHi Susan, Thanks for visiting ACW and sharing about the upcoming CWC :) I'm really looking forward to it but I'm not sure #9 has ever applied to me? I've always found conferences busy and the time flies by too quickly. I'm usually trying to catch up with writing friends who I rarely see in person and chat with new writing friends. Rose Dee and I lost count of the number of hours we spent chatting together at ACFW in Dallas last week, lol.
ReplyDeleteFor #9 Narelle, I was thinking about the nice walks you can go on around the venue. Take a couple of friends with you and chat while you walk!
