We arrived at the Hyatt Regency Thursday evening and settled into a comfortable room overlooking a small courtyard with fountains of water shooting into the air.
The conference, a huge event, was fun, informative, but also overwhelming. I'm still trying to process everything I experienced. A few highlights:
- Jeanie and Clella, two of my Kindred Hearts, drove a couple hours each (one way) to have lunch with Mom and me. We had a great time chatting and laughing.
- I met my agent, Tamela Hancock Murray, for the first time in person, and ate breakfast with her and some of her other authors.
- I pitched my novel to two publishers and one wants to see the proposal.
- Free books!
Tomorrow we head down to the southern Ohio hills for a few days of internet-isolation and relaxation before Saturday's family reunion.
We're making memories with every mile that clicks over on that little Vibe's odometer.

Sounds fun. I saw some photo of the conference and it looked pretty dressy.
Kathy, I heard the awards banquet is a very dress-up occasion, but I didn't stay for that. It was a great experience, but I missed the familiar faces and southern charm of our beloved FCWC. Counting the days till that fun event!
Enjoy this special time with your mom. Sounds like a great time.
Can't wait to hear all about the conference...I'd like to be there next year!
Missing hearing from you every day...!
Praying that Vibe brings you home safely. Yeah, on getting to see everyone and the conference, too. Enjoy your family time.
