Tomorrow I’m heading south across the Red River!!!
It’s that time of year – the annual ACFW conference – held this year at a Dallas hotel smack dab in the middle of DFW. There I’ll meet up with 700 like-minded people to talk writing, marketing, who sold what to whom, and who just got a new agent. I’ll attend workshops and continuing education sessions, late night chats, and a gala that equals the Academy Awards. We’ll discuss trends over countless cups of java and hear from Michael Hyatt, one of the most noted fellas in Christian publishing today. There will be times of sweet worship and hugs and laughter as I get to hang out with friends I only see once or twice a year.
So I’m not really “gone fishin'” but it will be almost the same – a time away from routine, enjoying a few days of new scenery (albeit fluorescent skies and padded carpet for trails), and refreshing of the spirit. I need it. I’m feeling rather disconnected and dry in the creativity arena. I’ve got my gear packed, the camera battery charging, and snacks and bottled water loaded.
See you next week!
