Did everyone have fun?
I hope you all had a good time, and that those who couldn't go this year got together with other writer friends and still had a good time. It's so important to have that time with like-minded individuals. It's easy, in the days of email and internet to forget how important actual face-time is. This is true in any industry, but especially in the writing world. We are a solitary industry. We sit in front of our computers and we type away. We might call up a friend to moan or complain. We might get online and vent our frustration at how long this process can take sometimes. But face-time is so very important.
I have a group of ladies I meet with at least once a month, without fail. If one of us has a conflict we do everything we can to reschedule. If rescheduling is impossible, we'll sometimes make a second meeting just so we can get together. At Conference I met up with a girlfriend who I haven't seen in almost 6 years (seriously, Karina, that's too long). It was like no time had passed us by.
These face to face meetings recharge me. They energize and feed my soul in a way that email and facebook simply can't.
So what about you? How do you get your face-time in?
