Edie here! I know my guest blogger today needs NO introduction to most of you. Even knowing that, I am super excited for my co-director of the Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference to share a blog post today on The Write Conversation. Be sure to give her a warm TWC welcome and hopefully she'll send more posts our way!
10 Reasons to Say Thank You after a Writing Conference
by Edwina Perkins @EdwinaPerkins
At a young age, my parents would not allow my brother and me to play with gifts we received until we sent thank you notes. We were quick to write those notes! Because the importance of writing thank you notes was instilled in me, I carried on note writing to our children, but I had to add an additional requirement—the notes needed to be legible.
My final year of high school, I gave each of my teachers a gift before Christmas break. I don’t remember the specific gifts or most of my teachers, but I remember my senior English teacher, Miss Barker. She wrote me a thank you note, expressing appreciation for the gift and included a personal note about me as her student. I have kept that note for over forty years.
