This year I'll only manage B'con.

Each time I have to overcome my urge to go hide in a closet somewhere, but I'm always glad when I stay and meet people, especially those I've had contact with before. <br /><br />I think the best thing about conferences is there are so many people and activities that someone and something will be fun, interesting, and worthwhile.<br /><br />PS: I love Henery Press (and the little bird)!Maureen Harringtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499876353651763590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-37251971709835867862014-05-20T22:31:45.172-04:002014-05-20T22:31:45.172-04:00Oh, thank you so much..so wonderful to celebrate w...Oh, thank you so much..so wonderful to celebrate with you...xoo<br /><br />SO thrilled.

I will always remember the time I spent this year with Kendel, LynDee, Shelley, and Liz, and our New Kids panel moderated by Margaret Maron, and I hope that, like Margaret, Dorothy Cannell, and Joan Hess, we're all still writing pals who reunite at the cons for the next 25 years!Leslie Budewitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11942314846112875042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-49879886054014221692014-05-20T18:26:27.679-04:002014-05-20T18:26:27.679-04:00Susan.

People are so nice, so helpful, so wonderful (why yes, I’m looking at y’all, Reds, and also you three, Kendel, Susan B., and Diane). It’s amazing. <br /><br />I tell my little ones often that not everyone likes everyone else, and while I know it’s true, great advice, it’s so hard for me to accept sometimes! I suppose I’m lucky to not know many people I don’t like. <br /><br />And Kendel, indeed—I am the world’s worst for backtracking through conversations, wondering if I talked too much, or said something wrong. And then apologizing for whatever I might have done to offend someone, who probably wasn’t offended at all. We should all heed your words of wisdom and be a little nicer to ourselves.

I want to participate in everything but then get a kind of advanced buyer's remorse as the event gets closer - maybe I won't really like it, maybe I don't really want to go, who would want to talk to me . . . you get the picture. If I have a role to play it's easier, but if I am just one of the group it's hard to approach someone. Working on that.<br /><br />I have recently retired so am able to devote more time to reading, blogs, etc. and have signed up for my first-ever book convention, Bouchercon 2014.

I can't wait to check out your books! (And Susan, I hope your son is doing better.) <br /><br />This is such a beautiful essay. My whole life changed when I entered the mystery world and discovered a place filled with writers who are not competitive, who are entirely supportive, and who love a good chat online and a good cocktail in person. In just a year of SinC and MWA meetings and conventions I've met some amazing people - many of whom are here (Susan, Hank, Deborah, etc.), and I know I"ll meet so many more at Bouchercon. As for your dear Diane, Kendel, I couldn't agree with you more - in fact, I'm doing a blog hop with her this week! I'm looking forward to meeting you and so many other Redettes (as I like to call us commenters) at future events!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15354719566758459929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-11968153807751862132014-05-20T13:47:46.016-04:002014-05-20T13:47:46.016-04:00Hi Kendel!
