It was an awesome-fest that day.

For the record, I was completely jealous of BOTH of you. My pals!!!

I have loved finding out that other writers share some of my quirks too. Like you said--they "get" it. What a relief! (ha)

Haha it's a very common response for me!

I agree with you that the in-person contact makes a big difference. And it's so nice to arrive at a conference already knowing people—and really looking forward to seeing them!—because y'all first met on social media or mostly engage there. Thanks, Eldred!

I'll be honest: Lately, I've been whittling my "friends" list on Facebook. I initially said yes to a whole lot of friend requests, but over time, I've concluded exactly what you say: "engagement means a lot." Discontinuing some follows where we've never engaged with one another allows me to more aware of what's happening with those I want to connect with most.

That's what happened to me. It started with social media, but the big change came when I attended my first conference. That's where I hooked up with Jenny, John, and Kris (I already knew Ellen from our local critique group). The pearls I've been able to sift out here on WITS have been priceless.

I agree with Tracy in that I don't like out of the blue friend request because we have one or two mutual friends. Also don't like the recently friended and then they ask you to follow their author page.
