I won't go into all the classes I attended in detail (though feel free to reach out and ask, if you're interested!), but they were everything from marketing and creating a great proposal, to inspiration about the unique gift of being a writer, to how different writing stages compare to dating milestones, to engaging discussions about how faith impacts our writing and what Christian literature is and should be. Suffice it to say I learned a lot!
But the highlight of the conference by far was being surrounded by so many like-minded people. At every turn I met someone who has embarked on a journey as crazy as mine, and it was such a pleasure to be able to share, commiserate, laugh, and even cry with them. I couldn't believe how hard it was to say goodbye to these new friends, even though we had only spent a few days together.
Realm Makers also provided me the opportunity to meet with several agents and editors and pitch my manuscript. While a nerve-wracking experience, I so appreciated their kindness, encouragement, and genuine interest in my story. I'm feeling more motivated than ever to finish editing to get my manuscript submission-ready! I'll be sure to post any updates along the way!
And now...the moment you've all been waiting for! What mystery costume did I wear to the Realm Makers costume banquet??
Ta da! Any fellow Big Bang Theory fans out there? That's right, I was Amy Farrah Fowler :) Not as many people recognized my costume as I'd hoped, but I still had a great time!
