Sore Feet, Happy Heart
The biggest, most wonderful part of the conference was meeting all my writing friends. My feet still hurt from walking in heels and my heart is still happy from bonding with these lovely women.
It was cool to see who these ladies are, and hear their voices, outside the cyber world.

Done anything lately that was somewhat painful but you didn't care because you were so happy? Ever met other writers? Or someone who had a similar passion to yours? How'd it go?

It was great to meet you! I love meeting other writers. It's fun to know that I'm not the only one "like me".
As far as feeling good and hurting at the same time: writing feels that way to me most every day. I wouldn't have it any other way, though!
Take care today and God bless!
Oooh, you're up early! :-(
LOL about your comment. It's definitely nice to know we're not as weird as maybe some people have told us. LOL
It was great to meet you and hear about your writing/teaching. :-) Thank you for stopping by.
I have recently found out that a woman at my new church is just starting her writing journey! I've never had someone I KNOW be a writer and I am so excited!
I cherish your feedback on my blog...but blogger ate your comment! I clicked "publish" on your comment, but it disappeared.
:( I don't know why blogger does that sometimes. Just wanted you to know that I so value your feedback and I am so sorry it doesn't show up. Feel free to try again if you have time, but I understand if you don't.
God bless you today...
Jessie, I love the jacket you wore with the dress! The perfect accessory. Is it velvet?
You all looked beautiful, BTW!
But in the writing wold, yeah, I visited a new writing group a little over a week ago. Meeting new people with similar passions is very inspiring and energizing.
Glad you had fun at your conference. Awesome pictures.
My last writerly group meeting was awesome, except for that stinkin' migraine... ;)
And I had that same problem on my wedding day. SUPER sore feet, but totally worth the pain :)
I still feel overwhelmed with gratitude when I think of my time with you ladies. God really did bless me with each and every one of you at conference. And lucky me, my feet didn't hurt doing so.
Giving birth comes to mind;)
I completely agree with the birth comments (didn't use an epidural, lol).
MaryBeth, you really, really need to meet up with some writers!!! There has to be a way to find some for you. :-)
So glad you had a great time!

Yes, I've done lots of painful things that were worth it. Marriage being at the top of the list. HA!
Glad you had such fun with these lovely buddies.

Looking forward to getting to know you better here in cyber world, but I will never forget your warmth and friendliness face-to-face.
Kristen, I think that's true. Remember Anne of Green Gables and her search for kindred spirits? That's kind of what it feels like to me, meeting other writers.
Thanks Jeannie. :-) You were fun too! I love your sense of humor.
I felt the same way. I never, ever wear clothes like that and so it was just really fun. :-)
Yay MaryBeth! I almost thought to put a call out over the internet. LOL! I'm sure you'll meet some really nice people there. :-)
Hi Sarah, thank you for stopping by. :-) Like you, I'm in a large church and I've wondered if there are other writers lurking somewhere. LOL I hope you have tons of fun!
You were very warm too, and smart!
Hey Jessie,
How's your pregnancy going, btw? Kids are wonderful and I'm so excited for you! (I know you already have a son, but the more the merrier, right? LOL)
I tagged you on my blog today.
You are indeed glowing for all the right reasons. I'm glad you had such a fulfilling time deepening relationships and talking about all things writing!
Too many times I feel like I'm floating on a cloud that no one can see. Writers are a unique breed of people that are often only understood by other writers.
Look forward to chatting again.
Blessings to you...
Tamika,
thank you for commenting. ;-) I totally agree about the cloud. LOL
I'm a Christian mommy too, but as of yet, I'm not sure what it is I'm really writing. Research is keeping me busy, busy. Still, love your blog. Here via Steph in the City... how do you women write and blog every day? You're truly inspirational!
By the way, I've got a giveaway on my blog. Just in time for the holidays!!! If you'd like to be entered just leave comment on any of the posts. :)

I am glad you had a great time at ACFW. I can definitely relate to the sore feet part. I wasn't able to go this year, but definitely will try to get there next year. Perhaps we shall meet!
