Conference Countdown–T-minus 44 hours

In less than two days, the 2007 ACFW National Conference officially begins with the early-bird sessions. I’m not attending those, but I know many people are.

Today, I’m studying up on the editors/houses I’ve requested appointments with–reviewing their profiles on the ACFW site as well as the houses’ websites to ensure I know exactly what each one is looking for so that I can tailor my pitches to show how my novels fit their needs.

I may not get a chance to blog tomorrow–I’ll be leaving around one-thirty to go to the hotel to check in. So here’s what I’m most looking forward to at this year’s conference:

• Meeting my crit partners face to face
• Seeing old friends
• Meeting new online buddies for the first time
• The fellowship and worship
• Having a sit-down with my agent
• Being surrounded by other writers for four days
• Learning more writing craft stuff to blog about!
