Subject: I'm back!

Hey all,

I'm back from my trip and I have to say it was the second best trip ever. Not only did I get to see old friends and make new ones, but I had some very cool things happen.

The first one is I walked away from the writing conference with three editors from three different publishing houses wanting to know more about my writing. And these are three major houses in the CBA or Christian market. That's exciting to me. I'm not necessarily expecting anything to come of this because I still have a lot to learn, but it's a great opportunity to get my stuff looked at and get feedback to see what they are looking for.

While all of the above is great professionally, the best thing that happened is all the personal things that went on. It was just a real time of fellowship and spiritual refreshing. Exactly what I needed after all the stresses of daily life. We had an awesome speaker in Liz Curtis Higgs. She writes inspirational historical romance and also non-fiction. She alternately made me laugh and cry. It was just a great experience.

I'm still recovering for jet lag but I'm glad to be home and excited to see all the things that will happen in the coming months. I have a lot of work to do to get my writing ready to submit to the editors but I know I can do it. I set a goal to be published before I'm 30, God willing, and I'm a little further along on that journey than I was last year. I'll keep you all updated as more develops.
