When I move back to the States, that is one thing I'm terribly anxious to do is go to conferences and hear speakers and soak in all the knowledge I can learn. But it is still helpful to read blogs like yours to get tidbits.Christina Farleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03459203755170266842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33821110.post-88840850642849376792010-03-03T23:13:24.561-05:002010-03-03T23:13:24.561-05:00Good to see you at SpringMingle, Shelli !

I met some wonderful people, including Doraine Bennett, who it turns out, knows a friend of mine in Columbus, GA and we discovered one night that we have the same birth date! I agree with you that the genuineness really came through from our speakers and they were all so inspiring. I plan to go, for the first time, to national SCBWI conference in LA. I'm itching to meet the rest of my blogger pals!Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00031330729309997361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33821110.post-30040330417309482592010-03-03T07:51:59.323-05:002010-03-03T07:51:59.323-05:00Hey, soul sister! :).

Something amazing happens at these conferences between all those nuggets of wisdom, something quieter but longer-lasting: new friendships are made. I'll be smiling all week thanks to Springmingle!

I'm glad you had that kind of immediate connection with Jennifer and Kristin.<br /><br />Cheryl is lovely. I had the pleasure of meeting her (and having lunch) at the MO SCBWI conference a couple years ago. <br /><br />Jane is awesome. I've emailed her a couple times via her journal. She's been helpful. :)Sharon K.
