I have no complaints except that I could NOT attend all the sessions that I wanted to. Next year, I plan to sign up with a team so that we can divide and conquer and share insights/notes at the end.<br /><br />Take care and get some well deserved rest!Donna Dilleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01727229142557672126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077386656187888581.post-30855383336742420692010-01-24T19:07:05.460-05:002010-01-24T19:07:05.460-05:00eda: your message came out in Chinese characters, ...eda: your message came out in Chinese characters, if you want to resubmit. danAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04217963475185024609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077386656187888581.post-88479558609954658242010-01-24T15:22:47.640-05:002010-01-24T15:22:47.640-05:00Been paid to write since the mid-1950s.

This year's writer's conference was one of the best yet, perhaps because I'm now faced with learning to make sense through social media with its unique communication constraints and structure. Tip of the hat to all involved for creating a great learning experience.bdonjohnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07769874711299890141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077386656187888581.post-85994714810178257482010-01-24T13:31:38.687-05:002010-01-24T13:31:38.687-05:00The writer's conference, as usual, was fun, in...The writer's conference, as usual, was fun, informative and inspirational. I loved being surrounded by such a warm and wonderful group of talented artists. Jeanne Larson's course was phenomenal. Thank you Dan and all the others involved in putting this together. I look forward to next year's conference!Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01611051283439325287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077386656187888581.post-29674169631701031872010-01-24T06:34:50.387-05:002010-01-24T06:34:50.387-05:00The students' enthusiasm level matched their n...The students' enthusiasm level matched their numbers. Again and again I had conversations with people whose largest frustration was that they wanted to attend two and sometimes all three of the scheduled sessions at a particular time.<br /><br />Not even the concerns about the future of the craft of writing as a profession, much less the ability to earn a living from the profession, seemed to dampen their spirits and desire to write, and that speaks well for both the students, and the conference's ability to help them realize their desires.<br /><br />Well done Dan, and Hollins, and all involved in putting together and pulling off the best conference yet.Keith Ferrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08888295556045780921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077386656187888581.post-18621456060794122502010-01-23T21:50:52.594-05:002010-01-23T21:50:52.594-05:00Thank you for organizing this conference and for y...Thank you for organizing this conference and for your dedication to the craft of writing.
