The Anti-Social Does a Get Together
So, I attended the Lori Foster Reader Writer Get Together this past weekend in Ohio. I surprised myself by actually talking to people and enjoying it. Yeah, I like writing because it’s a solitary pursuit. However, the time comes occasionally when I really need to get out and talk to other writers face to face. Body language is important to a writer. How else will I portray my characters’ emotions in those instances when I’m in another character’s head? So, I have to mingle every once in a while to remind myself of the nuances of body language.
I did all that and more. I met many great authors, got to chat about and discover new books I would love to read, and spend time with friends I haven’t had a chance to see in a while. All in all, it was a wonderful trip. Best of all, I found the entire get together/conference to be highly motivating.

Well, gee, Terescia, you didn’t even mention the best part…
Being in the car a total of 14 hours in two days with ME! LOL!
Honestly, though, I enjoyed the gathering a lot. I couldn’t help but have fun with so many wonderful writers and readers chatting, eating, reading, and signing wonderful books!
It might just have to turn into an annual event for us????

The car trip was something I wasn’t going to mention…. I was trying to focus on the fun stuff! LOL. I’m kidding. You know I loved having the opportunity to catch up in person!
