I'm so excited! My first writer's conference!!!! I joined SCBWI about two weeks ago and I can't wait to get networking. You hear about writer's finding their agent at conference, I'm sure not the norm but it inspired me to set a new goal for myself.
One day I will have publishing deadlines (the thought freaks me out). Why not give myself a deadline for my book. Not just finish my book but have it finished, critiqued, redacted, reviewed, cleaned, and polished by the conference. I'm halfway through writing it, so I think this is a plausible goal for me. You never know when a pitching opportunity can come about and if I am finished, I will be ready.

Do you plan to attend?
