Don’t forget to enter my Commonplace Book Giveaway by Friday, 6:00 PM CST.
Some of you know that last year I won first place for a novel excerpt at a local writing conference. At the same conference I happened to be critiqued by the editor of Louisiana Literature magazine, who offered to publish a portion of my manuscript on the spot. I left the conference feeling incredible. Things were finally happening! To me!
I’ve been asked to speak at the conference this year, right before the new winner is announced. It’s supposed to be a ten to fifteen overview of my year. Thanks, Jambalaya Writers’ Conference, for helping to bolster the query that ultimately led to my agent. And thanks for giving me a moment to share a little of my story with other writers.
So cool, Caroline! You are going to be a speaker…
That’s incredible! How amazing! Good luck!
Oh wow! that is too cool! Enjoy! You deserve it.
Thank you for visiting my blog! I decided to take the plunge and share myself & my stories to the world to enjoy!
And thats amazing about your manuscript!
Each story is so unique. Each road to getting an agent and getting published is different. And I love hearing every one. Good luck!
Sounds like a great conference. Too bad Louisiana is so far away from Nebraska!
That’s a great story — with a lovely happy ending, and I’m always a tiny bit leery of happy endings. Of course, it’s not so much a happy ending, as a happy “and then…” because your journey is just getting going!
This is awesome!
Caroline, I came by to say thanks for stopping by my blog today and commenting! (And then of course, I stayed and perused your beautiful blog and entered your contest. What fun!)
Caroline, congratulations! And please keep us posted on the conference. I’d love to find a way to attend – I’m in GA.
Caroline, that is great!! :0)
I also love your new picture! Very pretty and relaxed young writer you are! :0)
Wonderful!
