I can already tell it's going to be an amazing story! I seriously can't wait to read it. And...if you ever, you know...need another beta reader... pick me, pick me! :-D<br /><br />Your go-get-em attitude really is inspiring. Gives me another boost in the writer confidence department. Now I'm like...

Ohhh, I had someone come up to me and say: "hey, I know you." I was all: You do? :P She said: "Yeah, I follow you on Twitter." I was like: That is sooo awesome!!! <br /><br />You are so right about writing...we just gotta keep at it! I've been attending conferences for about 5 years and pitched at the past 3...it's very encouraging to me to be able to see improvement :) It can be a struggle, but eventually the right thing will work out! Don't they say it's all about timing? Patience is such a hard thing tho :P<br /><br />Thanks a bunch for commenting!

I took something similar at RWA and really got a lot out of it. I'd love more info on it tho, so if you don't mind emailing it that'd be great! My email is... bynum(dot)karen(at)gmail(dot)com<br /><br />My very first pitch was at RWA 2 years ago and I was scared out of my mind...I totally read my query from a notecard and thought I was gonna pass out :P I feel like I'm finally making progress, but there's always room for improvement :)<br /><br />Thank you bunches!!

You sound like you had an amazing time and there was SO much good news in there I don't know how you kept your head from flying off your shoulders. I really wish I could've attended this one (I would've stuck to the walls and smiled rather than pitched but still would've been fun) and it would've been great to bump into you and cheer on your successes. Writing can be difficult, protracted and filled with self-doubt, so its always good to hear the other side of it...the positive stuff. Anyway, best of luck for the future - I hope you and Banshee go all the way to the top! :) Gushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03928242767788347380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2720721030970850341.post-39488943598383639682013-05-08T12:54:02.917-04:002013-05-08T12:54:02.917-04:00I'm so happy for you and your first RT and I k...I'm so happy for you and your first RT and I know you're going to make it!! I was so sad to hear about your stress!! (We taught the "perfect pitch" at the RT Advantage workshop Wednesday morning....would that have helped??? Do you want me to email it to you? Of course--now that you're through the gate, it's probably not as helpful! LOL!) <br /><br />Exciting and wonderful to hear how things unfolded though and again, here's one more fan cheering you on from the wings!!Renee Bernardhttp://www.reneebernardauthor.comnoreply@blogger.com
