Joy - Wants to remind writers attending her sessions that they will be part lecture and part interactive. You are coming to write?

Fiction vs. Nonfiction Track?

• I’ve asked that y’all reply to me about which track you are planning to attend.
• This was only to gauge approximate numbers for Joy’s & Frank’s workshops.
• You are free to choose each session individually as you like.
• You will note that there are a couple times where there is only session.

In that vein Terry says, “I noticed that my talk was, until recently, listed in the schedule as part of the fiction track. Just wanted to remind you that it is really more geared to non-fiction than fiction, though parts are applicable to both. Anyone who wants to write for publication should find it practical and helpful, but it is more focused on non-fiction.”

If you are not staying for the retreat you can order Diana’s lectures.

Bag End Thursday Night

This gathering after hours is a time of sharing, asking questions, and reading your stuff. The time is limited, there will be sleepyheads, and Friday is an early morning, so . . .

If you want to do a reading, choose something BRIEF, please. There will be a time limit. Just like in your writing-less is more. Be thrifty with your words. Remember if you want more substantial feedback, Lael Arrington and Kay Wood are available. Inquire at the registration table.

Of Interest on Conferences

There’s an article in October Writer’s Digest - “How Even a Bad Conference Can Make You a Better Writer,” giving the reader 18 lessons they can learn from any writing conference. Well, ours is going to be a really GOOD CONFERENCE, but their “More Tips for Making the Most of Any Conference” is informative and is most of what I’ve already imparted to y’all. I’ll include the list in your packet.

Also there are two articles in the Christian Communicator: September & October. I will include those also in your packet.

. . . I may have more so keep checking . . . Nan
