“Tell me why I should go to
a writers conference,” my friend Melissa said. “I’m swamped at work, discouraged
about my writing, and behind on my W.I.P. (Work In Progress). I’m not sure I

Melissa and I have
commiserated on the ups and downs of the writing life for years. She’s a
seasoned writer who could probably teach most of the conference workshops. She
doesn’t need another class on self-editing or how to write dialogue. Yet I
still encouraged her to attend.
