>Home from the conference
> It’s hard to believe the 2008 ACFW conference has come and gone. It was all I hoped for, and most of the things that I fretted about, simply turned out to be pre-conference jitters and negative self-talk, which writers are very good at it. I’ll be writing more later about my reflections of the conference, but for now, I …
>Off to the land of 10,000 lakes
>Tomorrow I leave for Minneapolis for the annual ACFW conference. My bags are packed. I’ve printed off one sheets, chapters and verses, organized my notebook. But I still don’t feel ready. Not really. Doubts are pestering me. Questions ricochet through my mind like a pong game gone mad.What if I say something stupid in my editor appointments? Or can’t remember …
>American Christian Fiction Writers Conference–September 18-21
>Only 73 days until the 2008 ACFW Conference kicks off in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

It feels like a dream come true—five glorious days and nights with four hundred writers pursuing our craft, laughing, learning, and hanging out. The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of …

>Home from the Conference
> The 2007 ACFW Conference exceeded all my expectations. The sessions, meeting new friends, divine appointments, and sharing fears, woes, and triumphs with other writers made it a fantastic experience. My local WIN group took home many honors and the promise of requested submissions from editors and agents. Going full-tilt for three full days wore me out, and I may …
