We first met at the 2009 Greater Philadelphia Christian Writers Conference. After trading business cards, we stayed in touch through our blogs and email.
While eating a delicious breakfast, we talked about the 2010 conference, our writing, and traded manuscript chapters. My blogging buddy is a gifted non-fiction writer. Wow, can she ever paint a word picture! One of her stories had me misty-eyed, while the other brought a smile to my face. She's full of excitement and ideas for her writing.
Naturally, I couldn't pass up the photo-op with my trusty digital camera. The lighting wasn't the greatest, but I did my best.
Here I am with the best Mom in the world. (I'm a bit biased.)
Susan and I decided we'd meet again in the near future. Blogging and email are great, but you can't beat chatting face-to-face. I'm sure all of you who met at ACFW will agree. :)
How fun Susan!! I love meeting blogging buddies face-to-face!
ReplyDeleteGreat camera, great pics and looks like fun times. :O) Miss you!
ReplyDeleteSusan,
ReplyDeleteThe joy was all mine! We definitely must get together again. And soon :)
Much love,
Susan
Some of my most fabulous 2010 memories center around meeting blogging buddies in/from AZ, and one visiting AZ from TX. There's a real sense of community in cyberspace, and none made more so than a "real" connection.
ReplyDeleteGreat fun!
Kathleen
Hi Katie -
ReplyDeleteI agree! I can't wait to meet more of my blogging buddies. :)

Hi Susan -
ReplyDeleteLet's connect and talk about another brunch get together. :)

Hi Kathleen -
ReplyDeleteThe connections online are great, but I love meeting people in person.
My late hubby and I met through e.Harmony, followed by lots of phone calls and emails. By the time we met, it was like we'd known each other forever.
Blessings,
Susan :)
Susan, that's so great you got to meet up with a writer friend! ACFW was the first chance I had to do that it was wonderful and worth it.
ReplyDeleteLove meetings like that! So fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat great fun! Glad you had a good time with Susan P.; she's a sweetie.
ReplyDeleteKeep thinking we could meet about halfway for lunch or something. How do you feel about meeting somewhere in WV? :P Someday!
Blessings,
Karen

ReplyDeleteSusan, that's the best way I can think of to enjoy oneself if not going to ACFW! Good idea.
ReplyDeleteFun!! I'm glad you could do that! I got to meet Jeanette in person, and it was great.
ReplyDeleteHi Jean -
ReplyDeleteThanks! While there is a resemblance to my Mom, I look a lot like my Dad and paternal grandmother. :)

ReplyDeleteOh, I hope you can meet some of them soon! You'll find it's like meeting an old friend.

Susan :)

ReplyDeleteI'll tell Mom you said "hello." :)

Hi Rosslyn -
ReplyDeleteIt worked for us! We live about two hours away from each other. Meeting in the middle trimmed the distance to one hour.
Blessings,
Susan :)
Hi Rhonda -
ReplyDeleteNeat! Jeanette and I are hoping to meet next summer.
Blessings,
Susan :)
There are some things you can only share with other writer friends. Sounds like you had fun. Love the picture of you and your Mom. Are you feeling more comfortable with your new camera lately?
ReplyDeleteHo wonderful! I wish I could meet you face-to-face someday too:)
ReplyDeleteWow, looks like fun! I'm so glad you could spend time together and with your mom too!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you guys had fun meeting together; I would love to meet up with my blogging friends. I just wanted to thank you for visiting my blog, would certainly love to get my work published. I will be coming back to your blog to looking for tips.

Hi Alisa -
ReplyDeleteWe all seem to be scattered throughout the country and the world. Writers conferences or critique groups are the best place to meet.
Blessings,

Blessings,
Susan :)
