Coming in late to this conversation. Haven't been around for a while. I spent Friday at the conference. (My first time.) I felt a little left out because I didn't have any meetings with agents or publishers, but getting to meet writers in person I've known online for many years was a blast! I'll probably try to go to Dallas next year. I do have to say that by the end of the day, however, this gal was plumb tuckered out! A lot going on, and a lot of noise. (S)
