Today is a busy and fun day for me. I am leaving tomorrow morning for my first writer’s conference! I found this gem of a conference at the end of last year and put it on the calendar. I had my heart set on She Speaks out in North Carolina, but that will have to wait for a different season of life. The one I am attending is a great conference that fortunately for me is only about an hour away. I am going to be able to focus solely on writing and learning about writing and meeting people who love writing! **whew! I suddenly got the urge to go out and buy more flair pens!**
I am literally fidgety with excitement!
However, I am learning the fine art of what it means to work and be a stay-at-home mom. This gig is hard, people. In order for me to go, I have to pack for myself to be gone for 3 days and pack 3 kids for their overnight at Mamaw and Papaw’s house. I have to get two birthday presents ready and wrapped with time of parties attached so my husband can smoothly attend said parties in my absence. I have to get this all done before so I can take the Mom Hat off for a few days and just be a budding writer. This is a mere impossible task, but I am willing to push through the discomfort of it all in order to learn as much as I can.
With all this said, I have lots to do before 7am tomorrow morning!
I want to keep you all updated as much as possible (and use this to journal my experience) so I am grateful to have wifi and the wordpress app on my phone. Lets see what amazing nuggets of wisdom I discover at the conference!
