Sat Nam! (Literally "Truth Name"--a Sikh greeting)
Just got back from the conference. My inbox was jammed! Am taking a break here in between all the emails from my fellow Sikhs about the situation in Wisconsin.
About the conference: Had the usual minor travel mishaps. (Zigged when I should have zagged and took an extra 30 min. to get to hotel.) Very friendly connections with fellow writers. Learned some promotion type stuff. ....And got a request for a proposal from the agent I pitched to. (What I've written is a memoir.) So, I've actually fulfilled the sub part of this a bit ahead of schedule. [Understatement!] But I'll stick around. I wouldn't be sending that proposal just yet.
Cheering everyone on!
And if you're the praying type, requesting prayers for the Sikhs in Wisconsin.
Blessings,
Siri Kirpal
Siri, I don't know what to say about the Wisconsin shooting. There is much evil in this world. The Sikhs in Wisconsin are certainly in my thoughts.
It's great that you got an agent interested in your memoirs. Congrats and fingers crossed. Keep us informed.
