The one lady in our group misundetstoodand didn't take anything for the editor to read.

At the moment, it's 12:14 A.M. <br /><br />I'm so glad we met in person. Facebook is neat, but seeing someone for real is better. Hmm, maybe that's how it's going to feel when we finally get to see Jesus.<br /><br />Talk to you soon. :)<br /><br />Blessings,<br />SusanSusan J.

Way to go!<br /><br />I didn't even turn my computer on yesterday, let alone do a post about the conference. I just finished writing my "'I Get To' Tuesdays" post for tomorrow. I put a note at the bottom of it saying I'll post about the conference soon.<br /><br />I'm so glad that I got to meet you and Eva. It was a fun time!

I try to think of questions all of you might want to ask or that would give you handy tips for your own writing.<br /><br />BTW, every time I got a tiny piece of paper towel, I thought of you and your recent post. People must have thought I was either very happy or crazy with that silly smile on my face.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Susan :)Susan J.

I guess I'll have to give up some of my SOTP techniques and learn how to keep track of the characters.<br /><br />I think I'd notice six "J" names on individual character sketches. When they're sprinkled through a manuscript, it doesn't always catch the eye. Sure didn't catch mine! LOL!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Susan :)Susan J.

I'll be sure to read it.<br /><br />I recently heard a speaker talk about how we focus on the 10% that's negative and forget about the 90% that's positive. Your advice is sound for anyone attending a conference. <br /><br />Blessings,<br />Susan :)Susan J.

He encouraged everyone to record their interviews with the subject's permission. <br /><br />Watch for an extra post tomorrow. It's tough to condense an entire conference into a single report. :)<br /><br />Blessings,<br />SusanSusan J.

I noticed in the manuscript I'm editing, I had two names (of secondary characters) that started with K.

Congrats to you for the surprise, tough question! LOL That must've been fun.<br /><br />I actually used to interview people all of the time over the phone when I freelanced for my newspaper. Sometimes I met them in person, but over the phone was easier because I could write as they spoke without having to make eye contact. Fun stuff! :-)Jessica Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12365768876905444157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252285009517721143.post-526658382396999292009-08-10T07:15:17.299-04:002009-08-10T07:15:17.299-04:00Sounds like you had a great time of learning!
