In reply to Julie Glover. 1998! That's a lot of years ago. Nothing since. Maybe they'll have some virtual ones some day, but the socializing wouldn't be there, and the panels, while interesting, are more for beginners. Plus, I don't write mysteries or thrillers or suspense right now.

In reply to barbdelong. Wow, what a task! Hopefully, you had some of the same experiences I did, realizing how far you'd come yet also finding some fresh ideas.

In reply to Eldred Bird. I used to work for attorneys, and they have awful handwriting too. Learned a lot deciphering that code! Glad you've found gold as well in them-thar notes.

In reply to Jenny Hansen. Thanks for the links; the one to his videos on his site doesn't work - I guess no one is paying for the site any more? The youtube one worked. I'll listen to it later - he was a cool guy and generous with his advice, and, as I remember, he seemed HAPPY.

Cool post! As a longtime Orange County Chapter of Romance Writers of America member, I accumulated literally thousands of pages of meeting and conference workshop handouts, notes on all manner of notepads and notebooks, lessons and tapes and craft books. Just before I moved 4 years ago I went through all of them and culled them down to a storage bin labelled "Best Workshops." Took me a year to do that because I went down a rabbit hole with each handout. I bet if I went through that bin today, I'd be looking at all that info with fresh eyes and glean more nuggets. Now where did I put that darn bin?
