I’m going to my first writer’s conference this weekend in Chicago and am nervous, excited and maybe a little scared(!).  This will be the first time I’m going to be talking about my book with complete strangers who actually write.  I know I wrote a book and all, but…what constitutes a “writer”?  Or an “author”?  Is it when you get published, or when you receive payment for what you’ve written?  Or is it what’s in your heart?  (I’m going with the latter).

So, I’m going to take a deep breath, hold my head up high (but not too high) and attempt the delicate dance of networking with “people”, telling anyone who will listen about my book in “one to two sentences”..oh, and take in all that this conference has to offer.

No biggie…
