They were all great! I learned something different at each one. They were: Christian Writers Boot Camp at the Cove, Write2Ignite! at North Greenville University, and The Writer's Plot at Furman University. Learning new skills and making new friends were definitely my favorite take-aways. Lord willing (and oh, how I hope He is willing!) I'll be at the Blue Ridge Mountain Conference this year.

Blue Ridge Mountain Christian Writer Conference is a great conference. I've also been to one in Seattle that was small (less than a 100 participants) and loved it. That's where I met Chip MacGregor the first time. Another great conference a lot of folks don't know about is the Southern Christian Writers Conference held in Tuscaloosa, Al. It's extremely reasonable at $100 and packs a lot of opportunities in it.<br /><br />I totally agree that conferences are wonderful investments.Patricia Bradleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03382033674042021556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-39172001329499434582013-01-10T08:16:01.160-05:002013-01-10T08:16:01.160-05:00Well, of course my all-time favorite conference is...Well, of course my all-time favorite conference is the Blue Ridge Mountain Christian Writer Conference. The reasons I love that conference are the fantastic staff, the beautiful setting, and the incredible fellowship. The highlights of my years attending are: Making a new best friend, all because I placed a silly ad for a roommate, finding the best mentor on planet earth (Edie Melson), networking with all those "stars", and who can beat becoming "Al's Angel"? SO cannot wait for May! Alycia Moraleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17437645525024387418noreply@blogger.com
